Spitfire or Mossie. The Nazi-wagons were built to look ugly.

A little off topic. I remember reading about a problems with the twin mustang, it had something to do with the pilot being so far away from the center of gravity, and excessive g forces he felt because of it.  Can anyone enlighten me on this ?

50s is toss up between the F86 and the Hawker Hunter

60s has to be the A4 Skyhawk.

70s to the present- F15 Eagle

But oh how I love that ugly old F4 Phantom
