5 Favourite Planes

I can only come up with 4 favourite planes at the moment, here goes;

1) Avro 683 Lancaster
2) De Havilland DH.98 Mosquito
3) Glostor Meteor F.3
4) Hawker Hurricane Mk.II

I need to think about the 5th...............
 
How can you compare a bomber to a fighter?

My list is: 1. Hurricane Mk. IV
2. Li-2
3. Spitfire Mk XIV
4. B-24
5. Me 262
 
ah, but that makes the spit better as it was faster and had a higher ceiling 8) and it looked better, and i bet spitfires shot down more planes than lancasters
 
the lancaster kicks ass said:
quite easily, the lancaster was better as it had a bigger payload................

I don't want to insult you, Lanc, but I can't immagine a bomber trying to evade a squadron of Messerschmitt Bf-109 or Focke-Wulf FW-190.

What would do a bomber against those planes without a fighter squadron to take on the enemy fighters ?

Here are my choices:

1. Spitfire Mk. IX (I know what you'll say: "Why the Mk. IX instead of the Mk. XIV ?" Well, I don't know. I love it, that's all. 8) )
2. Spitfire Mk. XIV
3. Hurricane (Any Mark.)
4. Mustang III
5. Tempest V
 
Yes, that is what I say...still good list.

The Spitfire could do more of a variety of jobs than the Lancaster as well. It's stupid comparing anyway.
 
yes, the tempest would make a good escort 8) would probably be the most likely of those to be used as an escort and the spits and hurricanes didnt have to rage to get to berlin back 8)
