Country: | The only connection is the Nazi regime coming to power in January 1933. However, that's not World War II so I'm going to do '39 - '45 since '46 wasn't World War II!
Land Fighters -
'39. Me-109
'40. Me-109 (Or Spitfire)
'41. Fw-190
'42. Spitfire
'43. Spitfire
'44. Spitfire (Or Fw-190, or Me-262)
'45. Spitfire (Or Ta-152, or P-80, or Me-262, or P-47)
This is a hard question!

| Hello folks, I am new to the list so I have a question. Is this only for the ETO or is the Pacific in the mix too. If the Pacific is to be included well...
'39. Me 109
'40. The Spitfire
'41 The Zero or the Wildcat
'42 The Spitfire
'43 P-47 or FW-190
'44 P-51 or F6F Hellcat
'45 P-51 or F6F Hellcat
And this is just fighters or are we not including bombers?
