Why i edited my original post - didn't want to imply that i was calling you an idiot, guess i failed even with the edit.
I was just saying how stupid the argument is that one single plane won the war. With the Battle of Britain it is always the Spitfire, over Europe it is always the P-51 or B-17. All of which simply are not true.
You seem to need the littlest things explained to you. Or else others are named "stupid" or "Idiotic", a theme I see to often in your posts.
Ive been studying WW-2 since I was able to read. But I guess with you I have to be literal.
The RAF saved Britain in the BOB. They didn't defeat Nazi Germany, tho I would give them credit for saving Democracy in a large part. Its true they also took part in the strategic and Tactical air offensive against German forces in Europe starting in 1943. The British had a world class aircraft industry. But the vast majority of this offensive was conducted by the US Army Air Corp.
Of which two main escort and tactical attack Jabos emerged, the P-51 mustang and the P-47. Of the two the P-47 did the Lions share of damage to the German war machine. Both in ATA engagements, bomber escort, and more importantly tactical ground strikes against the German war machine. So in essence I was saying the P-47 won the war more then the P-51 did. Dont forget the Luftwaffe, and its supporting infrastructure, was in large part destroyed while it was still on the ground. And dont forget, design changes in the P-47s gave them the long range escort ability the Mustangs had at about the same time in the air war.
By the last year of the war American fighter aircraft were simply loosed against the Luftwaffe and its infrastructure anywhere it could be found. Aircraft, air fields, training areas. No fighter excelled at all of this as much as the 47. In fact both the highest killing ace, and squadron with the most kills, flew P-47s. P-47s had a kill ratio of almost 8 to 1 in Europe. And then add in all the Holy Hell it raised as a ground attack Jabo.
So I'll say again. No other fighter or Jabo on the Allied side could hold "war winning title" more then the P-47.
Of course the P-47 didn't "win the war all alone", nor did America. I'm not talking to a kindergarten class and didn't feel I needed to point that out earlier and assumed others could figure out I was talking P-47 vs P-51, tho I guess with one or two I needed to.
