Country:  | Arguments cheddar? ok 
1) P.11c - best Polish fighter before the war, extremely manouverable, although P.11c was outclassed in Sept. 1939 by Bf 109, Polish pilots managed to shot down over 120 German planes. It's also a beautiful upper-wing fighter (the so called "seagull-wing")
2) P-39 - honestly, I have no idea why do I like this plane so much. I think it's something in the way it looks like.
3) Ju-87 - one of the deadliest bombers of war. If anyone ever read Hans Ulrich Rudel book, than he know what do I mean. Also good looking "W" wing.
4) B-24 - my favourite heavy bomber, produced in the highest amount of all heavies.
5) MiG-21MF - flying legend , I've seen them so many times over Polish coast (they are being in use of 1st Naval Fighter Squadron in Gdynia Babie-Doly), that I fell in love  It had to be here, every airshow i've seen included MiG-21. It's a huge part of history of Polish Air Force. | |

Country: | Maritime Recon is good, the B-24 was in the running for my top 5 because of how good it was at sub hunting
