Country:  | My favorite isn't sexy, but was a workhorse, the C-47 Skytrain. When it came to haulin' ass and trash, the C-47 was up to the task.

| Favorite if not the BEST!!!
Fighter: USA: P-47 Thunderbolt with it's heavy bomb load, rockets and 8x50cal. guns, but the Hurrican and Zero come a close second for their great looking lines. They always look like they are out turning you even when they are standing still.
Bomber: Once again goes to the USA. The B-17F which brought the heavy bomber to life. I also like the early HE-111 and JU-88 of Germany.
Night Fighter: No question the Misquito, or wait the ME-110, or wait the HE-219 they all look so cool.
Well those are my picks... | |

Toss up between Bugatti 110 and Piaggio P.108T.
| What's the bugatti 110? I'm aware of their early 90s car EB110- and granted while it did haul some ass i have a bit of doubt it could have reached 400mph with armament  any info on the plane?

I had never seen an aircraft completely disintegrate in the air the way this Me-110 did..."
