| The P-47 would be in that top ten list as well. (Especially the "N" model.)

Country: | Thats a point lanc, biplanes. The CR.42 and Gladiator must have had great roll rates. But if were talking monoplanes only then the Series 0 Italian fighters (MC.200, G.50, Re-2000) would be up there too.

| I would have agree with Davidicus, Republic P-47 Thunderbolt would have been in Top Ten Lists (Including P-47N) and Lockheed P-38 Lighting as well too.

Country: | You know what I just realized? Why did I pick a Spit XIV when this is 1945. Damn me again!

| DerAdlerIstGelandet,
I am not sure about this, but I go ahead.
I wasn't too sure IF that true that early Focke Wulf FW 190As has better roll rate than Supermarine Spitfire XIV?
