You're right. There were a lot of nice looking airplanes on both sides of the war and the Corsair was certainly one of them. I've always liked the P-38 Lightning--or the "Twin Forked Devil" as the Germans called it. Reply #2. Sep 25 14, 11:47 AM |

Three spectacular beauties. If I was told these were the three I'd have to use for the duration. . . I'd take 'em. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxL8xgaNmjc Reply #3. Oct 31 14, 11:07 AM |

The Spitfire. It won the battle of Britain and the German Luftwaffe wished they had them. Reply #4. Jul 24 15, 5:36 PM |

I always loved the lightning as a kid but if I could fly a spitfire or mosquito before I die I would die a happy man. Reply #5. Aug 26 15, 2:05 AM |

P-51 Mustang was a racy workhorse with lots of power and range. Cool plane. Reply #8. May 09 22, 3:12 PM |

Hard to pick. On top of that, in some cases you really need to throw out a model that's the earliest to fit. I'm specifically looking at the P-51 on that last one, everything before the D just ain't right. That tear drop canopy on the D really made the fighter look sleek. That said, among the fighters I think are beautiful are the F6F Hellcat, the P-38 Lightning, the Spitfire, the P-51D Mustang, the A6M Zero, the BF 109, the Me 262 Schwalbe, the Mosquito, the F7F Tigercat, and the F8F Bearcat. I know I said the Bearcat despite it actually seeing combat, but remember it was designed during the war and at least one Bearcat squadron was operational before the war ended even though they never made it into combat in WWII. Also, just because I didn't mention some fighters doesn't mean I don't see them as beautiful Reply #10. Dec 08 24, 1:08 AM |
