You might also add the Finnish VL Myrsky with 51 built according to Wikipedia
edit - Sorry it is already there - being English I didn't look for Suomi

I should have written it, the countries name are in the original, only transliteration if need; i writed 43 because here i don't count prototypes and small production model (=less of 20)
 
After read some post of Jim Long on j-aircraft.org i changed my opinion on the Ki 61 II production, so i deleted this as built in '44, imho actually is possible that a few were built in late '44 but many less of 20 required
 
Changed production numbers for the Tempest II from few teens to 36 as reported in "Kites, Birds & Stuff Hawker Aircraft"
 
Changed the production number for the 109 Kurfürst from around 800 to 854 as ArtieBob post on 12 O'Clock High!

report ArtieBob infos on the sources:
"There are two sources for this data, C-AMT Monatsmeldung and the Gen .Qu.(6 Abt.III C) Flugzeugverteilung for various months from Jan 44 to Mar 45. The data as far as I can tell represents neubau Flugzeug accepted by the Luftwaffe (which would mean after flight test acceptance by BAL). "
 
I have read the thread. You know what its like when you get old. The next time you look at it, you omit the fact that its 1940-44. I mean, how could anyone be so dumb as to omit the first and last years of the war. Except an American of course.
With the exception of all the Americans here, of course. Most Americans aren't too strong on history. I'd better not saying more, should I? I found the easy way to beat Americans in Trivial Pursuit was to ask Geography and History questions.

I gotta agree with Kevin J. As sad as it is, there is a grain of truth. I would win at Trivial Pursuit with the same strategy. Before reading this Forum, I was unaware of naval action in the Indian Ocean. Heck, I was unaware of the Indian Ocean!
