What Allied fighter aircraft types should earn the medals in 1941? The series produced examples are contenders, ones that made it in service in that year? So no F4U, Spit IX, P-51, La-5 etc. The carrier-based aircraft can also compete, but CV suitabiity yields no points in this thread.
The performance (speed, RoC, roll, dive), armament, protection, radius/range, 'all altitude' capability, lack of dangerous flaws - those are main categories for comparison, in order you see fit. Looking away from th own county products is encouraged - the less flag waving, the better.
Again, it's the top 3, not just the best.
