From that list it would be the Mustang followed by the Spitfire. I also like the Corsair and Boomerang. The sound of the Boomerang has to be heard to appreciate how she whistles when flying past. Get to Temora to see it

 

Out of those it would be the Mustang I would buy if I could. Can't put into words why though. But all planes are good.

Wot, no fiats?

 

If you're going to specify the D model of the FW190, and the G model of the 109, shouldn't you also specify the mk of the spitfire and the model of the 'stang??

 

Hard to pick a winner, but for

something i don't want on my tail... 262 or the 190

 

best cranked wing...corsair

 

evil...109

 

looks...bubble canopy mustang

 

banzai... zero

and the winner is

 

the mosquito (ok, this is a single engine contest

The Spit for me ... It looked great with those elliptical wings , sounded fantastic , but lets face it , as a Pom what else would you expect me to vote for !!! ..

Well I have to say that until recently, I always loved the Corsair F4U the most, but I think I have finally settled on the Mess 109G. They sounded unreal, I love the compact and balanced look. I suppose I'd better vote then :)

The Spitfire for me is in first place. Having been raised by an ex Spitfire pilot, who fought in both the desert and jungle with this beautiful aircraft my fathers stories of the capabilities of the Mk9 spit just blow the others away.

Spitfires RULE!!!

 

 

[Guest TonyNBL]

You got it. The last Spit I saw flying was Col Pey's when he dug a wheel in a hole at Richmond RAAF Base a few years ago.

Can't vote.!! P39 Airacobra not listed.

 

Mr Bell's techo innovation the 'Flying Cannon',or 'The Iron Dog', might not have been the ubeaut, hi alititude interceptor but it served throughout the War in all theaters. Half the production went to Russia and they loved 'em. And at low level they could mix it with the best. Had the armament weight been cut back to allow a turbo charger it would have had a more stellar career.

 

Chucky reckoned it was the nicest a/c for aerobatics he ever flew... and he'd flown some.

 

Read "Nanette" by Edwards Park and you'll see what I mean.
