like the title says list your favorite fighter planes from World War 2 me my favorites are the P 51 Mustang german FW 190 butcher bbird British Hawker Hurricane the B 17

Mustang and BF-109

3915383
Mustang, Spitfire, and Wildcat.

Spitfire V

3915406
Yeah, those.

these bad boys.

The only one I've ever flown. Cessna-like controls almost, just more valuable. Just makes my grandfather tear up whenever he sees one fly.

B-17 flying fortress Heavy Bomber: 13 .50 caliber guns and could carry a lot of bombs

B-25 Mitchell Medium: Basically a little brother version of the above

3915523 only problem until the p-51 could escort it all the way to Germany they were getting their asses handed to them by the Luftwaffe

3915556

And? They're still my favorite.

3915580 i know man i like them just saying that they needed fighter planes to protect them

3915597

I knew that. What country would let any form of bombers level part of their city?

Focke Wulf FW-109

P61 Black Widow
ME BF 109
Consolidated PBY Catalina

Here's my Top 10 WWII military aircraft:

1. Chance-Vought F4U1 Corsair One of the best (if not THE best) fighters of the war. Known as 'The Bent-Wing Bird' to her pilots and crew for the distictive reverse gull-wing design, the Japanese soon knew it as 'Whistling Death' for the sound the airflow over the wing-mounted oil coolers made as well as for it's 6 .50-cal machineguns.

2. Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress The mainstay of the USAAF 8th Air Force strategic bombardment effort in Europe between 1942 and 1945. Known as the 'Flying Fortress after a reporter dubbed it as such due to its formidable defensive armament (8 .50 machineguns at the start, and up to 12 by the time of the G model), the B-17 was legendary among its crews for being able to suffer horrendous damage and still get them home. The B-17 was fitted with the highly accurate Norden optical bombsight; while it was claimed by its designer that it could put a bomb in a pickle-barrel from 15000 feet was hyperbole, the system was the most accurate available at the time.

3. North-American P-51D Mustang The P-51 is the shining example of Anglo-American engineering working together to produce one of the best fighters of the war. Originally designed in June 1941 according to an RAF order in only 190 days, the Allison powerplant held back the A and B models to low-level fighter cover and ground attack missions. Once the high-performance airframe was mated to the outstanding British Merlin powerplant, the C and D model Mustangs were so powerful that with external fuel tanks the Mustang was the first fighter to be able to escort the bombers all the way to Berlin and back. Later production runs were found in front-line service in some third-world airforces into the 1980s.

4. Focke-Wulf Fw-190 The Fw-190 was an unwelcome surprise to Allied fighter pilots when it was introduced in 1941. Powerful, fast, and maneuverable, the -190 out-performed almost all available Allied fighters until the introduction of later designs such as the P-51D and later models of the Spitfire. The powerful engine of the fighter enabled it to carry out not only traditional fighter missions but also ground-attack missions and battlefield reconnaissance.

5. Supermarine Spitfire Initially designed in the late 1930s based on experience gained in designing race planes, the Spitfire became the iconic fighter of the Battle of Britain in August-October 1940. While the backbone of the RAF fighter squadrons was the older Hawker Hurricane, the Spitfire's duels with the Bf-109 caught the imagination of the British people. Later models improved the overall speed and maneuverability of the design, but despite this the Spitfire lacked the overall range needed for long-range escort missions.

6. Ilyushin IL-2 Sturmovik The most widely-produced military aircraft of all time, the IL-2 Sturmovik was the best dedicated ground-attack aircraft of the era. Heavily armed and armored, the Sturmovik was the bane of the German panzers on the Eastern Front; one flight of Sturmoviks could reduce a company of Panther or Tiger tanks to burning wreckage. The Sturmovik is the spiritual ancestor for both the modern American A-10 Thunderbolt 2 and the Russian SU-25 Frogfoot. Stalin once remarked that "They are as essential to the Red Army as air and bread."

7. Mitsubishi A6M0 Zero-sen 'Zeke' One of the best carrier-born fighters of early World War 2, the Zero was a rude shock to American and British naval aviators for its outstanding range, speed, and maneuverability. Capable of dominating any other fighter in the world in 1939 and 1940, it's one glaring weakness was born of its virtues. In order to make the plane fast and long-ranged, Mitsubishi engineers omitted radios, armor plating, and self-sealing fuel tanks; this made the plane relatively flimsy and easy to set on fire. Regardless, it took the introduction of better fighters such as the Corsair and the F6F Hellcat to beat it back.

8. Grumman F4F Wildcat While not as fast or as maneuverable as its opponent the Zero in the skies over the south Pacific in 1942, the F4F was still one of the best naval fighters of its era. Overshadowed by the fast and maneuverable Zero, the Wildcat was more heavily armed and armored and cold take significantly more damage than its opponent while being able to destroy the enemy. Victor of Midway and the battles of the Solomon Islands, the F4F was soon relegated to smaller escort carriers in favor of the newer and more powerful Corsair and Hellcat.

9. Messerschmidt ME-109 Designed by the genius aviation engineer Wilhelm Messerschmidt in the mid-1930s, the ME-109 was the premier fighter of the Luftwaffe in the opening years of World War II. Fast, maneuverable, and heavily armed for the time, it proved itself during the Spanish Civil War and came of age during the Battle of Britain. The dogfights over London exposed the most glaring fault of the design in that it lacked the range to escort bombers over London for any length of time, even operating from bases in northern France. As the war progressed the fighter was upgraded but even though it was produced through the end of the war it never stood much of chance against the best American, British, or Russian fighters as the Germans lost their best pilots.

10. Avro Lancaster The B-17 may have been the iconic bomber of World War II, but the Avro Lancaster could carry a larger bomb load farther. The Lancaster was the only Allied bomber that could carry the massive 20,000-lb 'Grand Slam' bomb or the rolling dam-buster bomb. Fitted with 1st-generation navigational radar, the Lancasters bombed at night while the B-17s bombed during the day. This round-the-clock bombing severely hampered though could not stop German aircraft production.

Does any one besides me like the ju 87 stuika?
