Best AT THE TIME was the I-16. Tricky little beast, but the world's first "modern" fighter. La-7 was best of the war, though.

By the time of WWII, the Rat was already obsolete. Even in Spain it didn't do that well. It was a very innovative plane for its day, but it was outclassed by even the first Bf-109's.

Given the choices, I also say the La-7 was best.

the I-16 was still the worlds first "modern" fighter, you can't deny that..........

to be honest that's a rather pathetic list, there's many more planes that could have been put on, as CC pointed out................
