Favorite if not the BEST!!!

Fighter: USA: P-47 Thunderbolt with it's heavy bomb load, rockets and 8x50cal. guns, but the Hurrican and Zero come a close second for their great looking lines. They always look like they are out turning you even when they are standing still.

Bomber: Once again goes to the USA. The B-17F which brought the heavy bomber to life. I also like the early HE-111 and JU-88 of Germany.

Night Fighter: No question the Misquito, or wait the ME-110, or wait the HE-219 they all look so cool.

Well those are my picks...
 
My favorite is the Bf-109G-6. Just love the plane the way it looks and have been a fan of it since I was a child and saw it for the first time at the Deutsches Museum.
 
Toss up between Bugatti 110 and Piaggio P.108T.

What's the bugatti 110? I'm aware of their early 90s car EB110- and granted while it did haul some ass i have a bit of doubt it could have reached 400mph with armament any info on the plane?
 
Ready for production before the outbreak of WW2, I think that if you compare it to what else was around in 1938 you have something that, I Think, would have decimated the opposition...does anyone have figures for it?
 
well you've gotta look at other stuff like how long did she take to produce, was she easily repared, could she take a full warload? was she able to be developed, how hard was she to fly??

The cockpit is just like a gliders. When you think of all the taps, instruments, switches, pipes and dials in a normal WW2 aircraft of any nation, where on earth did they put them?
