Of course the P-38 should be at the top of the list--- not the Mosquito (bomber/recce)...Hi all,

As a long range fighter and night fighter it was a major problem for the British.The top two should be the P-38 and Whirlwind.
The Ju88 shouldn't be on the list.
The night war in Europe was mainly about twin engined fighters. Bf 110, Ju 88 Beaufighter and Mosquito. Pretty much the same in the maritime war in the North Sea and bay of Biscay, single engined types were useless, so the twins were useful.I didn't realize there were actually ten useful twin-engined fighters in the entire war.

You could look at it the other way, what single engined fighter was worth a dime at night or over the bay of Biscay and werent the two fastest fighters of WW2 the Me 262 and the Meteor?Oh, I knew there were some, but ten? I was thinking four or five twin fighters worth mentioning.

The He162 was faster.You could look at it the other way, what single engined fighter was worth a dime at night or over the bay of Biscay and werent the two fastest fighters of WW2 the Me 262 and the Meteor?
So that makes seven then.The He162 was faster.
The top two should be the P-38 and Whirlwind.
The Ju88 shouldn't be on the list.
The listing was focused on twin-engined fighters.No Ju88 ? Why?
Concur. Similarly, the Mosquito was not designed to be a fighter. If the list only included "purpose-built" fighters, it would only have half as many shown, with the P-38 at or near the top of the list.The listing was focused on twin-engined fighters.
While the Ju88 wore many hats, it wasn't a "fighter" any more than the B-25J was.
It did perform well in the night-fighter role, but not in a daytime environment where types like the P-38, Whirlwind and even Beaufighter would be operating.
