F-15 Eagle, none have ever been shot down ! It is unbeaten !

We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft (Me-262), but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.

Being true to my faith,'' the De Havilland 98 Mosquito''.....

[closely followed by the De Havilland 103 Hornet, of the same extaordinary calibre].....it may come as a surprise, but there moves underway to re-build the Hornet....check-out www.dhhornet50.net

....there is an interesting story there about how the Americans reacted to seeing the DH Hornet.....

To those who are a bit surprised with my choice: PZL P.37b is a bomber, designed in late thirties in Poland. One of the best bomber in this era, if not the best.
