Country:  | Yep that is very straight forward, the 190 was superior in all areas to all marks of spit up to and including the V, so how does one possibly compare the Hurricane to the 190?
The Hurricane was the one in numbers during 1940, it saved the day, and the free world. | |

Country: |  THE SPIT
The fact is simple. The spitfire looked good. It was every bit as dashing as the young men who flew it, and in flight it was as graceful as any bird.
You had Mr. Churchill on the wireless (radio for those of you with an american disposition  ) explaining we'd never surrender, and above the sound of the great merlin engine, and you couldn't help thinking; yes, we can win this thing.
Possibly, just possibly, the spitfire is the greatest machine ever made. | |

Folks, you're too hung up on fighters - there's a lot more to flying than air combat. The multi-role ability, ease of maintenance, longevity and versatility of the C-47 places it as not only the overall best aircraft of WW2, but probably the best aircraft ever built, PERIOD!

| C'mon now, Joe, that's far-fetched. You know the material used to build the Spitfire would have been delivered by train, truck and ship. Unless Britain used C-47s to move metal from the mills to workshops, or the U.S used C-47s to deliver war material across the Atlantic.

Country: | Well, I left that out because in Europe when we liberated France it was one less war material the C-47 needed to deliver. The French population provided the Allied troops with plenty of c-u-m buckets...
