Country:  | I wouldn't know about Osprey, but if you check the following page for Jet fighter kills (Duesenjaeger) you will come up with about 400 kills + since this page only shows pilots with kills 5 and above. Düsenjägers - Jet Aces of The Luftwaffe
So the Me-262 was either impressive or as you say from another planet. So I will stick to impressive because if I would refer it to being from another planet then Adler is going to have a reason to ban it from WWII

Thank you I needed that

That's good
Now with all that said, I think it's clear why the Me 262 cannot be considered for the "Best Aircraft of WW2." Certainly the most innovative but there's a bigger picture to consider when there is more to flying than trying to shoot down another aircraft - I know its hard to put the testosterone in check but we all have to do it at one time or another.

Country: | You replace the Me-262 with the P-51D or P-38 and you have syscom. You replace the Me-262 with the Lancaster and you have Lanc.

Country: | If by the best aircraft of WW2 you are talking about the most effective or deadliest, my vote would go to the various models of the BF109. Surely it must have been responsible for more air to air kills and more deaths of enemy combatants than any other aircraft in history. | |

Country: | I'm with Joe on this. The C-47 s also one of the best airplanes ever made, in my opinion.
