The Forum's Favorite WW2 Aircraft?

Well I thought this might be a fun thread to do now that the forum is back online.

What is the favorite aircraft of this forum?

This is not really about what you think is the best aircraft of WW2, but what your favorite aircraft of WW2 is. Discuss why you like each aircraft and maybe some nice lively debates will spring up.

Remember though this is just for fun, to see what the favorite aircraft of our forum is.

The P38 for me.

Versatality and it looks neat

It was the first allied fighter in the MTO and ETO that could take the fight to the LW at ranges the Spitfire pilots could only dream of.

And of course, its record in the Pacific is legendary.

Not to get into performance, versatility, blah blah blah. I like it because this is the plane that peaked my interest in WW2. Ever since the tv show Ba Ba Black Sheep, I'm just facinated with this part of history.

Me109 E4 to G6. The plane just looks like a fighter and was superior in BoB and France IMO. One mean looking aircraft.

I know it's a "late war" variant but the Ta152H is the bird that does it for me. But I like most of the German designs.........

P.S. WELCOME BACK!!!!!
