Could an attack helicopter fight wartime aircraft?

Could an attack helicopter dogfight a Second World War aircraft?

Probably, depending on the matchup; it may be particularly suitable for engaging a very slow aircraft such as the Swordfish.

The speed mismatch that troubles modern jet fighters would be less severe for a helicopter. An attack helicopter is therefore a plausible, if unusual, counter to very slow propeller aircraft. Sensors and modern weapons could give the helicopter advantages even though the engagement would not resemble a conventional fighter duel. The Swordfish is the clearest example because its very low speed makes interception geometry unusually awkward for fast jets.
