This is the WWII Aviation equevalent of Christianity/Islam/Judaism..

Spitfire, every time. (Can I have a late Mk I please?)

There are plenty of reasons performance wise, but truthfully, if the question was just those 3 and you get to fly 1 only,no combat, it'd be the Spit.

It is to me what the Hurricane is to Foz. A beauty.

I'd rather die in a Spitfire.

A later MkI is fine haha, i was quietly taking a later Mk Hurricane anyway... the old wooden prob in the early models just doesnt do it for me.

Yeah, You've got to give the Hurricane its MkII version to equal the production date. Personaly I'd like to see what kind of damage a Hurricane MkIIC 's cannons could do to an Emil.

hmmmm interesting question. I would go with the spit. i want the fastest plane, the one with the best rate of climb and/or dive, one with the best visibility for the pilot, and good armament. it will all be about the bounce....who sees who first and has the speed and altitude to make it work for you. you are not going to be getting into much of a turning battle and will only have a minute or 2 of ammo. if bounced the spit has the balls to climb away from either plane and turn the battle.

If anyone wants to be the real underdog, Ive heard there is a battered old Curtis Mohawk round the back of one of the hangers.
