I personally like the P-47D (Razorback version of the Thunderbolt).

I like the P-51 Mustang best. Maybe cause its American and I built a little plastic model of one.

I really liked the P-38, it was a very aggressive looking aircraft. Fast, good fire power and very agile. They were also a good weather recon bird to send out on scout duty ahead of the bombers over eastern europe.

Cant go wrong with the ol' "Jug". It has that kind of feel to it. Ya know. The " ol reliable" plane kinda image. Its not sleek, its not stylish, its just there to shoot down planes. Its the old cow Bessie.

Zero's were better than most everything we had in terms of manuverability. That's what i would want if i went into combat with a WW2 plane.

Wasn't the Zero made out of canvas or something? So that a a BB gun could shoot it down?
