| I believe that the US mostly used fighter marks of the Spit in Africa and Europe but I think that was mostly earlier in the war since the Spit didn't have the range for the escort missions. Recon models may have been in service longer, but I'm not sure there either.

Country: | thanks all. C.C I would agree a spit looks a bit off with USAAF star. But then how meny US made planes had other flags on them? Say the P-39, a nice but problumatic project that surved for the Russians, almost the whole production went to Russia.  For that matter how about the Navey in 1940 sending destroyers to the British?

Country: | Have you seen the Mosquito in American colours, Willow?
Also, the Hurricane in Soviet colours, with the Spitfire in Soviet colours.

Country: | It think he's saying the B-29 was the best, in which I agree with him on.
Here's the DH Mosquito in US colours:
