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.

The Hurricane won the Battle of Britain. No complaints from me

My favorite plane from Europe...deffinantly the Avro Lancaster... second would be the P-51 then the P-47 and then the Spitfire. After that some German planes like the BF-109 and TA-153.

i just watched a documentory about that horten the guys at dreamland i think it was called basicly the guys who build the stealth bomber built a replica horten then hung it from a crane to c if it was stealth and it worked !!!
so if the nazis had enough time to mass produce this the world would be a very different place right now scary thought

anyway i think is got to be the mossie

That against a Japanese Zero or Oscar, it would get chewed up. Same goes for Spitfires. Burma was not a pretty place for Hurricanes, neither was Darwin, Australia.

I really do wish the Bearcat would come out in a video game. Even though it saw no action, I do believe it was in production before the end of the war.

Hopefully they will have the F4U available as a DLC. Definatly my favorite American plane.

Yes, the Zero would chew up the Hurricane, but not the Spit. You could throw a rock at a Zero and it would explode.

I am sticking to the BF-109 myself. It has yet to recieve a fair representation in any video game.
