lol Marcel, yes, the glaring omission of the G.1 has been noted, but then again, the D.XXI and T.V seem to be missing from the list as well!
Yeah, witch is of course a very bad omission, but it's not that relevant as the of those 3, the G-1 is obviously the winner. That's a no-brainer, I mean, a twin tail-boom layout, what could go wrong?
 
Hello
like many of us I have many favourites. I tried to list them, but surely missed some. Anyway, most of mine have not got a single vote and almost as many are not in the list. Not that I'm surprised except that Ju 88, He 162, Ar 234, Ki-67, P1Y1 Ginga, B-26 Marauder and SBD have not got any votes.

Juha
Since the Martin B-26 didn't even get a billing I've boycotted this thread.
 
IMO the P-38 not only looked better but out performed the SM.91 which never got further than the prototype stage. The P-38 was almost 80 mph faster!
ok but 6 20 mils would shreed the p-38 oh my gosh plus it had a rear gunner and better turning for sure
 
You have to catch it first and did not turn better according to wing loading calculations. For the most part a rear gunner on a WW2 fighter eventually became ballast
im not really talking about the L I'm taken about the G as you know Italy never had a lot of modifications templates like other countries
