Which for an alphabetic list isn't that bad. Can anybody spot an earlier omission, I certainly don't know every plane that was in WW2?

<edit>Thinking about it, they've dropped several Faireys, the Albacore and the Barracuda come before the Fulmar alphabetically.

<edit2>They've also entirely missed the British manufacturer Blackburn, makers of the Roc, Squa, Botha (and probably other even less famous aircraft).
No sign of Westlands Lysander either! Also they only list one Avia, none of the Letovs, no Koolhoven F.K.58, no Latécoère flying boats.

However they do include some rather scary oddities like the CAC Woomera
