I'm not a Russian-o-phile by any means (that's Sov Ace's job!)
My favourite aircraft of that era is the Spit (boring choice I know!)
However I'm happy to accept that the P51-D was the best WWII fighter. The weight of evidence seems to be overwhelming. It was also a very effective fighter bomber in Korea (51-H)
It was half a generation in front of the rest of the WWII aircraft (except at the end when the jets arrived) and it showed.
Will someone hurry up and invent time travel so we can go and get the aces and thier mounts and settle this once and for all!
