The most important United States Fighter of the Pacific is not on you list.  You leave off the plane with the most kills in the Pacific from you list.

Which fighter do you speak of? Are you not refering to the Hellcat? It is on the list.

The Mosquito did not come to mind when I made this list. It’s a plane that should be in included.

I think the P-51 is one of the most beautiful aircraft to take to the skys for any purpose.

I know the P-51 is supposed to be THE fighter of WW2, but I’ve always had love for the Spitfire.  It out-gunned all other fighters early in the war.

And I voted for the ME-262 as my second vote for the tech.

[italiansarecoming]

what about the toher 3 planes please add them

[ABWorsham4]

I do not think your other three planes are worthy to make the list.

[legion3]

Macchi C.202 Folgore of the Regia Aeronautica

The Italian Thunderbolt

I voted for the 262 and the FW190

[legion3]

Or how about old school:

Fiat CR.42 Falco (“Falcon”)
Gloster Gladiator
Polikarpov I-153

No love for two wings  :wink:

The Gloster Gladiator nearly made the list. The few Gladiators at Malta that flew againist the Regia Aeronautica have always made an impression in my readings.

The planes or the pilots? The smaller the number of aircraft the less their performance/capabilities can be seperated from the pilots it would seem.  :|

I like the way the P-38 looks. But I think that the mustang would have to be my fav.

Just thought I’d mention that a lot of these planes are flyable (including some bombers) in the game Secret Weapons Over Normandy by LucasArts.  A pretty entertaining game overall, and you can feel the difference between the planes.

It’s good to see some Soviet support. The Yak often gets over looked in World War Two discussion along with the Red Air force.

Ivan N. Kozhedub was the highest credited allied ace with 62 victories. Following is Pokryshkin, Alexander Ivanovich, the Soviet’s most famous ace with 59 kills.

Erich Hartmann, in his book The Blond Knight of Germany praises the skills of the Red Air Forces’ Guard Regiments. He refers to these skilled pilots as Stalin’s Hawks.
