My list (fame based):
1)
DC-3 and B-747 (in par) - The more long life airplane in history, still operative in mountains of South America, the airplane that brings the commercial liners to acces by the less than richest, and THE LINER, the archetype of intercontinental and economic flying.
2)
Fokker Dr.I THE FIGHTER, in the colors of M. Richtofen, is the archetype of the WWI air combat era planes in the entire world.
3)
Tiger moth THE TRAINER (well.. in par with the
AT-6 TEXAN ) 'nuff said
4)
P51D the "we saved your a..." bird
, most famous WWII fighter, even if we KNOW that its fame is not so really earned, more a propaganda heritage.
5)
B17 Flying Fortress THE BOMBER. the most famous city destroyer in the air history.
6)
Me-262 THE TECHNOLOGY. was the more advanced fighter of its times, and famous 'cause it was one step ahead.
7)
Concorde THE SST (well, the only one
) people dont give a s... about economics, the fascination to fly (or dream to.. $$$ ) at more than mach 1 in an airliner is what really people remember.
8)
F-117 THE STEALTH - even if it's a brick with wings, there is still people that believe thay are OPTICAL invisible, lol!!
9)
MIG - xx THE ENEMA - Halliwud taught us to not care about the xx number it's is anyway the enema to shot down in big numbers.
10)
Piper CUB THE CAR OF SKY - the first real personal plane, trainer of more than a generation of pilots, such a list cannot forget this one.
