You can't stand one of the best planes in the war? Without the Mustang you're B-17's would've been in trouble....Since the Mustang usually was their escort(if I'm right?).
Yes, but the benefit of the Mustang was that it could escort them all the way to Berlin and back. Like the Zero, range was the significant factor with the Mustang. I have corresponded with Art Fiedler, a 325th Fighter ace who said for long-range escort, the P-51 was the best and for strafing and ground attack, the P-47 was hard to beat. But he said the significant difference between the two was the fuel consumption. The P-47 burned 110-120 gallons per hour while the P-51 burned 50-60 gallons per hour.
P-51D Mustang hands down. It's just a dream to fly. A sturdy airframe mated to one of the most legendary power plants of all time, made this the greatest fighter plane that almost never was.
First introduced to the British in 1943, they initially turned it down because of the seriously underpowered Allison engine. The same power plant the P-39 "Flying Dog" had. When they discovered their Rolls Royce Merlin would fit in the ariframe with little to no modifications, a legend was born.
F6F, big strong radial in front of you, could be slammed onto a carrier over and over, plenty of firepower, fast, good range and usually painted the coolest blue scheme on the planet!!!!
True GrauGeist but it had 2 of 'em at least lol. And with the exception of the P-38, the other Allison V-1710 powered aircraft were pretty much outclassed by 1943 when the Allison powered P-51 was first introduced, and even before that.
No Me-410? I adore the Me-410. Looks nasty with its slim fuselage, blunt nose, glasshouse canopy set forward, extended engine nacelles and massed cannon and Mg armament.
I voted for the Hurricane, it brought me to aircraft and I always found it much more cool looking than the Spit a close second is the FW 190 it just looks so aggressive.
The Hurricane with it glasshouse canopy and bank of 303s wow. sexy
Well for me it is the bf-109k-4 as my fave operational variant but my favorite variant is the bf-109k-14 as my top variant.The reason is the the 4-bladed prop and the mk-108 wing guns and the aggresive style of it.
