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 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
 
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.
 
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.
