    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.

    La7-FNV

    Yak-9UT and Yak-9P were pretty hot too.

    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................

    If I could figure out how to add more choices to the poll (is there a way?), I would.
