I’m surprised the Me-109 has not found any love in the survey.

As a player that has not played 2nd edition, I can speak little on this subject.  :x

I’m lucky if I can find enough players once a year to play.  :?

I have never had a taste for Oliver Stone movies.

i chose the yak and the spitfire because the yak made a difference and history in russia until the yak russian airforce was crap the yaks at least were the spitfires in the eastern front!

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.

FDR is catching up  :-o  but Hitler hangs on to his lead. I guess Acorn has not registered any old new dealers yet.  :wink:

@ABWorsham:

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 agree

My wife gave me the news yesterday, that we are expecting our first child! Now to give this topic something related to WW2 the due date is June 6!!!  8-)

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

If the Nazis in Germany had not held such strong feelings towards ethic cleaning how would the War in the East been different? The Nazis treatment of “lesser races” cost Germany the War.

I just ate all my wife’s pie!!!  :|

@italiansarecoming:

DM Mosquito, Seafire, Boulron-Paul defiant and Kikka

There is 4 planes you missed :-(

Also if i find anymore i’ll let you know which there probably is

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

@F6FHellcat:

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 Stuka was a dive-bomber.

I’m asking the question about principle aircraft models. If I added every different version of an aircraft the list would number in the hundreds. The list must stay as is, unless I’m missing an deserving aircraft.

Which of these fighters are your favorites? I have allowed you to have two votes. Sorry if I have missed any deserving plane.

It was Stalin’s country that beat Germany in WWII. The Russians were willing to paid the price in blood; an awful lot of blood.

@11HP20:

I voted Stalin. He not only fought Hitler he expanded his empire in the process. You can pretend the Warsaw Pact was an alliance for Soviet friendly countries if you like. The reality is they were an actual part of the Soviet Empire. Look how long it stayed that way.

Stalin exported his brand of politics globally to an extent no other individual has in history. There are still communist nations on this planet that Iosef helped make commie. The massive effect on the world psyche and economics the Cold War had. The Korean War, and communist insurgencies that lost but still drained western powers of men and material. Stalin’s policies even effected the movies made in Hollywood. I think his world impact is under rated by most people.

Being an independent I’m able to think about politics. Being dense I’m not able to think about economics. I let Alan Greenspan do that for me. In an interview Mr. Greenspan said Clinton did very little positive for the American economy. According to Greenspan Clinton “rode on the coat tails of the previous two administrations economic policies”.

Those policies were started by Reagan. Ask any economist and they will tell you it takes a good decade for a policy to fully effect the multi-trillion dollar engine that is the American economy. Reagan bashers should not take my word for it. Read up a little about how our economy really works then re-access your politics. Thank Reagan for the '90’s, thank Clinton for now, thank Bush for what’s soon to come, and thank the next guy for the 2020’s.

It’s about time Stalin gets some love in this poll.

I miss the days of going to see a movie.
