I need the dates (year and month) all the aircraft in Aces High first entered service in W.W.II. Any of you history buffs know this off the top of your head?  :)

Thanks in advance!

Westy, try this: http://www.hitechcreations.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=search

I ran it, but it turned up nothing for a list of aircraft dates.

I was in a bit of a hurry so I will look again, but I don't see any of the Me 109's listed and only one FW 190.

You're welcome.

Yes, 109s are on there. I see the V1 prototype, the B version, the C version and the 109V14 (109e) with a quick scan... they are all there before Summer '38.

Exactly Hamish. Not proto typed, not a few in service testing. Many aircraft were actually mass produced numbers and deployed. Be it the F7F or the DO-335. Which is why it erks me a bit when folks say "if it did not see combat..." because that automatically favours the Axis nations who's skies over thier homeland were a combat zone. In which case even a Guillows balsa wood model plane tossed out a second story window in Munich was ripe for being shot down by roving Allies planes.

 My pleasure Daddog. I'm just glad to be able to contirbute a little as my personal time sure doesn't allow it.
 I'd love to make a Con (I try up to the day of it!) and buy YOU (and many others too <G> ) a beer!

CC westy. I've heard that argument before. Annoys me too, I am a fan of a lot of different aircraft, I fly everything from the spit V, to the 109-f4, to the p-38l. I try not to bias myself too much to any one country, i feel it would limit my enjoyment of Aces High. those that argue for "only if it saw combat" areonly trying to limit everyone else's experience too. IF someday, they ever added an F7F, It SHOULD be perked, but i wouldn't care, I'd fly it. I'd still fly a lot of other planes too tho.

P.S. can you say JABO machine? from a CV!

who needs a F4U-1C then?   :D

And thanks SW, <S!>

I'd love to see the Tigercat in AH.

I saw one flying only 2 weeks ago, at Duxford.

Perhaps one of the most beautiful aircraft not designed in Britain. It proves the Yanks had a bit of artistic flair after all!  :D

Great work, Westy.  I just got The American Fighter and was pleased to note my home town of Evansville, Ind., made half of the most produced fighter model in history, 6,093 of the P-47D.

Is there a very clear list somewhere of all nations' most produced aircraft of WWII, combat and noncombat?  For example, I'd like to know which really are the numerical champs, e.g., C-47/DC-3, Bf-109, IL-2, P-47, etc.

Looking for overall by number as well as the most by suffix, e.g., P-47s, P-47D, etc.
