FAV WW2 fighter aircraft?

[Grumpy_monkey]

what is your favorite world war 2 aircraft... jsut out of curiosity. I personally love the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.9.

 

[Redneck]

For me it's a toss-up between the P51D and the P38 Lightning.

 

[GuyontheRight]

Im gonna have to go with the blimp

 

[Redneck]

I don't think zeps/dirigibles made the best FIGHTER aircraft there, GuyontheRight. :lol:

 

[Animal Mother]

P-63 Kingcobra 8)

 

[GuyontheRight]

Hey he never said combat aircraft, I just think blimps look cool

 

[Redneck]

It's the title of the topic (WWII Fighter Aircraft). But yeah, the dirigibles were pretty slick. Weren't they almost exclusively on the East coast?

 

[Mark Conley]

The aircraft I liked the best was the F4F wildcat...barring that, Id have to P-61 Black Widow night fighter

 

[diplomatic_means]

I don't know much about these, but I have seen the spitfire in a Chicago museum before and that sucker looked mean :twisted:

I have always loved the Supermarine Spifire.

My grandfathers brother was a Lt-Colonel, Wing Commander Flying, in the RAF during WW2.

Unfortunatelly he was killed 3 February 1945..
He had finnished his last mission, but he asked for one more, before he was going home.
He did not return from that one..

Shot down and/or crashed, probably because of a drop-tank that was not released after a dive.. :?

Here's some info and pictures, his name Rolf Arne Berg. (pic 2 and 4)

Just say that isent a sweety!

 

[dragon_master_gunner]

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

 

[FutureRANGER]

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

 

[Guardsman_Ca]

I like the Lockheed P-38 Lightning "The Fork-Tailed Devil"

 

[Rick90467]

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.

 

[SemperFi!]

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.

 

[Ace_22]

i personally like the hienkel he 219 night fighter, the zero was nice so was the spitfire and bf 109

 

[the other one]

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.

 

[Ace_22]

yah but also ther were other "genres" of combat such as bombers and in the case of te heinkel he 219 night fighters and then theres dogfighters

 

[FutureRANGER]

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