I nominate the Blackburn Roc as the best fighter of WW2!
well, since the only started making Whirlwinds after they stopped making Rocs, Vindicators and Airacudas (mostly) it wasn't going to change anything.I'd certainly trade all of the Defiants and Blackburn Rocs, Vought Vindicators and Airacudas for a few more Whirlwinds.

A sure contender for anybody's best/worst list.
Part of it is upside down, but I cant figure out which part.I love the Amiot 143. The employee lounge downstairs was a great idea.
You laugh, but let me tell you, the English can't even conceive of a proper Salade and there are never any kind of fresh ingredients onboard a Halifax. The Germans with their crude schnitzels would be simply intimidated by the Foix Gras. The Italians have their pasta, and who can deny it's good? But there simply isn't room or facilities in a Savoia 79 to make a proper Daube Provençal. And we all know that after a taxing escort mission, you need to relax properly with a dish that yes has noodles but also a rich sauce that you can only cook in a daubière.
Everyone says their wine is "as good as" or "better than" the wine served in the employee lounge of the Amiot 143, but that's just like everybody claims they have more oil than Saudi Arabia. It's never true.
Since the Hurricane shot down more than the Spitfire in the BoB maybe they were a little misguided in their belief.I never read or heard form Luftwaffe veterans that they feared the Hurricane quite the contra actually - but the Spitfire was seen as equal to the Bf109
