I guess my picks are at least today.

1st - B-29
Spitfire
P-51
Tiger Cat
Mossie

Planes like the P-38, F4U, Catalina, Fw-190 were cool in their own right but not so much purty.

Agree! I just the the Boomer is an aircraft that Capt. "Wild Bill" Kelso should be flying besides his P-40!

LOL, Wild Bill in his P40 with his trusty Boomer beside him would make a fearsome sight chasing that elusive squadron of zero's!
