2 years ago I crawled the forum to count how often an aircraft was mentioned. I made a list of about 90 single engined fighters and searched for that

Let's see if we can change that :

The sole vote for the FW 200 Condor here! I have always had a thing for the Condor, that gondola is right sexy! Wouldn't have wanted to be on one though!!

Well I thought this might be a fun thread to do now that the forum is back online.

What is the favorite aircraft of this forum?

This is not really about what you think is the best aircraft of WW2, but what your favorite aircraft of WW2 is. Discuss why you like each aircraft and maybe some nice lively debates will spring up.

Remember though this is just for fun, to see what the favorite aircraft of our forum is.

The P-51 did a terrific job of protecting the bomber stream on my missions during WWII

Well, its a hard choice, Me109, Fw190A, Me262,P51D,P47D,Spitfire - any Mk, to name a few - but because it was different in so many ways and added capability to the Allied efforts in all theatres my vote is for the Mosquito.

This is a tough one for me, like others have mentioned. So many choices!

I'll go with P-47 for my own personal reasons. Also rans are P-51 (Old Crow specifically- shout out to neighbor Bud Anderson), Me262, Fw190, P-61, B-25, B-24 and He 219 Uhu

For me it has to be the AT-6 Texan. It and truly is a pilot maker, plus it was the first plane I saw close up at around four years of age. Rows of yellow Texans at Stallings AF Base in Kinston NC.

P-51 Mustang still edging out the Spitfire and Bf-109, but just barely. I think there's no mystery where I cast my vote....

Easy question, really difficult answer

I'll go for Mig-3; an interesting plane, with very nice lines (looks like a pre-war racer) and with excellent performance... not at the altitude range where real combat took place

My other favorites: Mosquito, Mustang, Corsair, Fw 190D, He 219...

I'm still voting for the T-6 Texan. It was used to teach everyone else how to fly the others as far as allied pilots go and it's still the sexiest plane built.

Spitfire; just to tighten up the race and make 33 others nervous. Plus there are 6 deleted members voting for the P-51

This a real tuff one. So many great planes. So many different posible metrics like great at one thing or pretty good several things for example.
Spitfire, p51, Mosquito, p38, p47, F6F, bf109 etc all favorites but if I had to pick just one................it was the spitfire as a kid but now..................ummmm.............p47..................no p38..............no p51...........no Dauntless and thats my final choice........at least for now.

This poll is totally Bravo Delta as it includes the Martin Mariner, but not the Marauder.

Quite a few are missing off the list, like the Curtiss SOC "Seagull", Curtiss SC "Seahawk", Grumman G-21 (JRF) "Goose", Grumman TBF "Avenger", etc...
