Spitfire?
-
p-51 :) or the spitfire

I would have to say the P-47 Thunderbolt - especially the P-47N which was specifically built for the Pacific theater and had a greater range than the D model. The N model had a redesigned and strengthened wings with 18 extra inches of wingspan plus larger ailterons and square-cut tips which increased the T-bolt's roll rate and increased maneuverability and a top speed of 460 m.p.h.
This model I particularly loved plus all T-bolts could give a lot of punishment with its EIGHT not six, 50-caliber machine guns and it could take a lot a punishment in return. The Mustang couldn't, even though the 'Stang was a better dogfighter.
Cobra, you forgot two great warbirds that made a difference in the Pacific - the F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair - both were excellent Zero killers and both made a big difference in the war.
-
Holy cow!! how could I forget my two favorite fighters! :'( and I already voted....I'll add them...how did I forget!!!?!?!
-
I like both the F4-U nad the Focke Wulf... they are both excellent and more than nice machines :)

The Thunderbolt is more like a flying tank, really strong and somehow nice... But F4-u has its style, and what style!!! >:D

Oh come on, guys, there are WAY too many warbirds to choose from. You have to be more... DECISIVE.

Hello guys,
For me also a far to long list, but two aircrafts are on my "hotlist" :D
The F4U Corsair "Whistling Death" is for me the most beautifull aircraft, it could
outperform any other "allied" aircraft, and was a hell for the A6 Zero. It was not
without any reason that they choose the above named "nick name".
And my other favourite aircraft is more a combination of a fighter and bomber,
the always beautifull P-38 Lightning.
Regards, Ramon.

F4U. Hey, i knew someone who's granpa flew those. Really cool snapshots...
-
I don't what my favourite is, I like them all :)
-
Haha. That's the spirit.
-
Hornet? oh you must be new welcome!
-
My two top favorites are the P-51D and the BF-109, awesome planes, I would like to fly one, one day if there are any left flying when I am able to fly.
-
Tough choices
F4U Corsair
P-51 Mustang D
Fw-190 - a more powerful engines and this fighter could have been better
-
The Bubble Canopy Mustang looks quite ugly, actually... :P
