I could never get in to the slim in trim fighters and bombers. My favorites are pretty much aircraft that were used in the early stages of WWII. Pilots that went up in some of these were pretty sure they did not hold and edge over their competition. The stories about aircraft like the Vickers Vildebeest attacking the Japanese landing forces in Malaya and having to deal with Ki 43 Oscars and A6M Zeros. By comparisson the Wildebeast made the Swordfish look kind of modern. The less well know planes are the ones for me.

Can you imagine these aircraft trying to fend off Oscars and Zeros.

I do love the Hellcat...but we are only allowed to pick five! It would, however, be my sixth choice!
