[GermansRGeniuses]

wow, thats a hell of a cough you got there 8)

gotta take me ricola, im surprised this is happening since i dont have asthma....

 

[Gemhorse]

Yeah Brad, four British and one German, really good choices, although I'd have the Mosquito at the top...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

na, mossie second, after the lancaster...............

 

[Gemhorse]

I won't argue about that, they are both superb aircraft...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i must say i do have a tendency towards bombers...........

 

[Gemhorse]

A bit of both , light and fast....and wooden

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

that's why the mossie is my second fave................

Here's my top five list:

1) F-4U Corsair
2) P-38 Lightning
3) P-51 Mustang
4) F-4F Wildcat
5) P-47 Thunderbolt

Let me think..... you are american?

I really have to read-up more on Corsairs, they seem very popular...I know our chaps flew them down here, and we've had one flying at '' Wings over Wanaka'' Airshow recently. - I read somewhere that they were very quick at Air Racing, post War, too. - Also, I'm chuffed Mossies are your 2nd choice, Lanc....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it was a great bomber.................

 

[TimT1]

Yep, how did you guess? Seriously though, I think fighters of other countries are cool also. If this was a top 10 fighters list, I would include the Spitfire, Hurricane, Shiden, FW-190, and Typhoon, but all WWII fighters are cool in some way

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i wouldn't say all of them were cool..............

 

[brad]

take out the typhoon and they are ok

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

hey hey hey, leave the tiffy alone, that was very cool 8)

 

[brad]

never heard of the shiden but sierusly take out the fw190 and put back the typhoon

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the shiden was one hell of a fighter, one of, if not, the best in the pacific theaeter..................

(sorry, can't spell)

 

[brad]

hey dont worry about the spelling i do it my self and sos about the shiden

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i could do a Sudden_strike here and shout at you, but i won't it was sort of like the P-47, but with better performane than any of the fighters in the pacific................

 

[Gemhorse]

The Typhoon did a terrific job at a tough time in the War, it's firepower not unlike the Mosquito - With it's teething-troubles and being a real handful to fly, it has earned it's Place in History. - As for Japanese aircraft, the Allies later Pacific fighters creamed anything they had, and lack of numbers and quality forced them to use Kamikazi tactics - That was a contributing factor to the use of A-Bombs, as the Invasion of Japan's Homeland drew closer...
