So many to choose from, but if I limit myself to WW2, in all honesty, if I were really there, I think I would feel most comfortable in a:de Havilland Mosquito FB VI If I don't limit myself to WW2, anyone who's been to my website will probably already know that my choice would be the Panavia Tornado IDS! ------------------ Be seeing you, 3dp Visit RAF Harkness!

Toss-up, between Spifire V and IX series. Any Spitfire, though; inexplicable. If asked, I cannot really say why - beauty, grace, something about them. Second would be the Tempest, next the P51 ( B and D ).

Da Jug (P-47 Thunderbolt)A very close second would have to be the Lady of the skies- The Flying Fortress. If I were to seperate WWI, I'd have to say the Spad XIII (hey plane builders- you build her and I'll make her fly!)

As far as visual appeal, I would have to say that the P-38 is the most beautiful plane ever made. In terms of performance, I'm attracted to the P-47 for it's ruggedness and versatility. IP: Logged |

Easy. #1: Grumman G-44 Widgeon/Gosling#2: North American T-28D Trojan #3: Beechcraft D-17S Staggerwing All those WWII fighters, screaming round the sky are OK, but they're just no match for having a leisurely chug around in a Widgeon, then splashing down in some deserted lagoon.
WWII would have to be : Bubble-Top Typhoon Spitfire Mk XIV (with clipped wings) Biggles IP: Logged |

Spitfire (ANY Spit, as long as it's got a Merlin, and no Vokes filter).A6M5 (as close to "perfect" lines for an airplane as you can get). P-51D (HORSEpower! Should need no explanation)
