How about something that can bring in a diverse range of fighter craft. this idea was done about 2 years ago and I was hoping people would be ready again.
I was tooling around making a list of aces and thought of getting a collection going of the aircraft of the top aces from WWII. I made a list of people that had the highest scores grouped by their nationality and service (army/navy).
Here's that list with a general aircraft associated with the pilot. It's listed in order by score and lists the pilot's name, native country, score, aircraft associated with. It's not complete in the marks of the aircraft they flew and I know the actual score counts are debatable but this is what I'm going with.
Erich Hartmann Germany Luftwaffe 352 BF-109s
Ilmari Juutilainen Finland Finnish Air Force 94 Brewster Buffalo
Tetsuzo Iwamoto Japan Imperial Japanese Navy 80 A6M2b
Ivan Kozhedub Soviet Union Soviet Air Force 66 LA-5
Constantin Cantacuzino Romania Royal Romanian Air Force 56 Hurricane/109?
Satoru Anabuki Japan Imperial Japanese Army 51 ki-43
Mato Dukovac Croatia Croatian Air Force 44 BF-109G
Marmaduke 'Pat' Pattle South Africa Royal Air Force 40 Hurricane
Richard I. Bong United States U.S. Army Air Forces 40 P-38
David McCampbell United States U.S. Navy 34 F6F
Pierre Clostermann France Free French Air Force; Royal Air Force 33 Spitfires/Tempests
Ján Režňák Slovak Republic Slovak Air Force[4] 32 BF-109
George F. "Buzz" Beurling Canada Royal Air Force 31⅓ Spitfires
Dezső Szentgyörgyi Hungary Royal Hungarian Air Force 30½ BF-109G
Clive Caldwell Australia Royal Australian Air Force 28½ P-40B
Gregory "Pappy" Boyington United States U.S. Marine Corps 28 F4U
Colin Falkland Gray New Zealand Royal Air Force 27½ Spitfires
Teresio Vittorio Martinoli Italy Regia Aeronautica 22 C.202 'Folgore'
Stanisław Skalski Poland Polish Air Force/RAF 18.91 PZL 11
Liu Chi-Sheng / Liu Zhesheng China Chinese Nationalist Air Force 11.3 Hawk III/I-16
Lee Archer United States U.S. Army Air Forces 5 P-51C
Any interests in this as a group build?
