Boy the spit IX did a great job taking the airwar deep into German airspace. Oh wait... I guess the spits didn't have the range do do that did they? Perhaps this is why they sat out the biggest Western Allied air campaign in Europe.

Spit was designed as a "local" airspace defender... not a offensive or bomber escort aircraft........

Last I heard, Major Richard Ira Bong USAAF scored 40 confirmed kills, Major Thomas B. McGuire USAAF had 38 confirmed kills. All in the P-38 Lightning.

Marmaduke Pattle scored higher, all of them flying a gladiator or hurricane.

go by best ace the BF109 is the greatest

go by how many of 1 kind of plane made the IL2 is the greatest

go by the planes record in helping the war the P47 is the greatest just look up its ground support kills if you want proof

go by inpact the B29 nuke carrying abilty would make it the greatest

there are so many WW2 planes that could be called the greatest

there is realy no way you could pin 1 plane as the greatest of WW2

From an aesthetic point of view, I think the Fw190s are the best.

Allied dashboards and guages are smurfy! The black interior with classy panels, guages, dashboards and switches - man, that some good designing on the 190!

Best fighter of all time....

Easy one. F-15 Eagle, 189 kills air to air, zero losses air to air.

Nothing else comes close.

My regards,
