The WW II versions were supercharged for the power to carry the insane bomb loads they did and to get the 30,000 feet they needed. The current civilian versions are not supercharged per FAA regulation, but they neither carry even close to capacity loads.
I have never ridden in one, but have toured 909, Sentimental Journey, and the Madras Maiden, now The Ye Old Pub. Beautiful aircraft. Flying is still way safer than driving.
