Country:  | Wow I have missed a lot here. I have to agree that the eliptacle wing was harder to produce and even the Germans knew this.

Country:  | Nice topic....
Such a topic is quite interesting...
In my oppinion one of the best fighters of ww2, if not the best, was the Messerschmidt Me-109/Bf-109. It could manouver better then it's allied counterparts both the Spitfire and the Mustang...It's only weak point was it's visibility...the cockpit was a bit crowded and the glass didn't permit a very good FOV...But once the pilot spotted the enemy it was all most certain who the victor would be... The Spitfire was one of the most elegant...if you would allow me the oppinion...I am a Spitfire fan...but it had a weak engine, and it was easelly surpassed by it's german counterpart... I may be wrong but if the Luftwaffe would have managed their resources more effectively the ww2 sky would not have been taken from them... Their air supremacy would have lasted till the end of the war...and probablly many more years from then on... | |

Country: | I am also proud to see that some people (cheddar cheese), have a clue about our(romanian) ww2 airforce, even though it was on the wrong side of the war for a good part of the war, due to poor political lidership, at the end, flying against the Luftwaffe, we did have some important Pilot Aces. And also against the Russian Airforce on the Eastern Front. I can't remmember their names right now, but I will look into the problem,  , and inform all of you. . I'm kidding, I'm shure you already know... I'm just a novice...what could I tell you that you don't already know??? | |

Country: | Functionality yes, beauty no. The closest the Brits got to a good looking plane was the Hurricane.
