Ah thats an easy one!!!!


The mighty HAWKER HURRICANE



If anyone flames me for that then i'll go with my second choice....

actually before i do...what kind of plane are we talking about? fighter? bomber? recon? etc etc..

fighter - Spitfire Mk IX
Heavy bomber - Avro Lancaster (huge payload, lacks a ball turret, but at night.... does the job extremely well)

Medium bomber - De havilland Mosquito OR B25 Mitchell
Torpedo plane - TBM Avenger
Dive bomber - Ju87 Stuka OR Dauntless
Ground attack - Hawker Typhoon
Escort - P51 Mustang


Just my "personnal" choices.
