Warbird you regret the most that there isn't a single surving example of?

[michaelmaltby]

Ta-183 jet fighter. Sterling bomber.

 

[John D. Voss]

There is at least one Stuka. Can't remember where but ive seen pictures of it.
Its in pieces but I think I read the are plans to re build it though.

THe Chicago Museum of Science and Industry has one hanging from the ceiling.

 

[John D. Voss]

P-82, not a flyable one anyway.

The USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, (Ohio) has one on display.

The USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, (Ohio) has one on display.

That would be Betty Jo, the plane that flew from Hickam AFB HI, to the east coast of the US nonstop. There is now another one, that was rebuilt and test flown last year.

Here is a list of extinct US WWII aircraft: B-32 Dominator, TBD Devastator, SOC Seagull, SO3C Seamew, SC Seahawk, F2A Buffalo (USN/USMC model),A-31 Vengeance

 

[mstennes]

ME109K4, there are many more but for some reason I always come back to that model.

 

[Benjdragon]

B-35 Flying Wing
B-42 Mixmaster

 

[AMCKen]

Any Merlin-powered, Malcolm-hooded Seafire.

EDIT: hmm.... looks like Wikipedia may be incorrect in reporting that only one Seafire survives.

This site says there are 15 Seafires of one mark or another. (below the Spitfires)

[Ivan1GFP]

Flyable examples of the B-26 Marauder and Hawker Typhoon.

 

[YF12A]

Johnson's shot-to-scrap P-47. Put it in a museum with a caption "I got my pilot home". Give the PLANE a Distinguished Flying Cross.
Flying wing B-49.
Boeing 317 (4 engine flying boat)

I think you mean the Boeing B-314. 12 were made, none survive, just like the Martin M-130, 3 were made, also none survive. The only survivor from that era is the Sikorsky VS-44A. 3 were made, 1 is the sole survivor from that era, on display at the New England Air Museum. IMHO, the best looking one of them, but I'm biased as my Dad worked on it and its' 2 sisters for AEA during WW2 and they were his all time favorite airplanes. Also the most capable of the bunch in terms of load and range.

There's a surviving Vengeance in Australia.

There are two existing Stukas plus one being restored to flying condition. Junkers Ju 87 - Wikipedia

One of the XP-82s is flying. There was show on Netflix or Prime about how it was discovered and restored. If I remember, the X version was made with more P-51 components, the production units were virtually new designs, with little common to the 51 other than looks.

Yes, I brain-farted. Boeing 314 flying boat. We have classic cars on the roads, we should have classic planes gracing our airports.

 

[Admiral Beez]

I guess we'd better fix that Seafire page.

 

[Capt. Vick]

B-35 Flying Wing
B-42 Mixmaster

The mixmaster still exists. Transferred to USAF USAF Museum from Smithsonian a while back. Same with the jet master. They might be missing their wings though.

Remember standing in front of thr XB-42 at Silver Hill many times, odd comes to mind.

I've always liked the Vengeance. AFAIK, its the only land-based, dedicated-divebomber operated by the RAF and Commonwealth. It would have been interesting if CC&F had produced A-25A instead of SB2C and some went to the CW.

You get your wish! I just read a story in Air & Space about an airworthy F-82. Pretty amazing plane. P-82 Twin Mustang Takes Flight for the First Time in Decades

 

[NevadaK]

Hmmm. There are a couple planes I would love to see in person.

Vought XF5U
Martin Baker MB-5
De Havilland Hornet (not sure if no-one of these exist)
and just based on looks
The Heston Racer (Not a good plane, but cool)
