Searching for airplanes

Hi! I'm making a webgame which will contain famous airplanes from the countries United Kingdom, USSR, USA, Germany, Japan.

It would be nice to have atleast 1 bomber, 1 seaattack, 1 dogfighter from each country. If there excist several famous, then they could be in the list also, just not to many.

I know that it will be a big list and a lot of work, but it's very important to make the game realistic.

I've been searching on my own, but there is so many airplanes to choose from, and I have no idea whichones that is famous.

Thanks in advance!

Hello warpi Are you looking for WWII planes? If so, this is the place to look! If you're looking for planes from other era's, we coul probably scrounge something up as well

What's your preference?

Hi! Thanks for the fast reply! Sorry, I forgot to nemention. It should be airplanes from the WW2

The thing is that I have no idea which ones is famous and it's impossible to have them all because then the game would be to complicated maybe.

Thanks in advance!

My suggestion is to try something like going to google or askjeeves and typing in the Phrase "famous fighters of WW2" <------ just like that with quotes around it & see where it takes you.

If you don't have a Spitfire Mk. XIV in there I'll kick you in the nuts.

Yak-3 was better and I agree with plan_D's statement, the Mk.14 was wonderful! (and beautiful)
