My vote goes for the Me-109, the ace maker. Best aces in the history flew it. It fought against almost all other fighters of WW2, and could always achieve a superior number of kills, from spanish civil war to the end of WW2.

Great Choice, would be my second choice for best fighter of world war 2, more 30,000 built, more kills then then any fighter in history! |

Every aircraft is as good as the pilot who flies it.
I did not vote. Gen. Dénes |

Why Messerschmitt 262 is not in the poll?

True, but of course some aircraft give the their pilots an adventage over another! |

Good question; I guess that I was thinking prop fighters, and also trying to be diplomatic. But if I more room then both the Me-262 ans Gloster Meotor would have to be included! along with several other types of fighters. As it they fall simply under "other" |

Spanish derivatives were used until late sixties, so service life of Bf-109 is longer than the one of the Spitfire. Interestingly, his career ended where it started, in Spain...

I vote for the Focke-Wulf Fw 190. It is true that many of the Luftwaffe's fighter aces flew the Fw 190, and obtained remarkable successes, but without the special qualities of this aircraft they wouldn't obtain so many victories. Just think of our excelent pilots in the 1944-1945 air battles and you agree...

It depends on era and theatre, it is unfair to compare IAR-80 with Ki87 for instance.. they were built in different periods for different purposes and flew in different theatres. You could ask what is one's favorite plane - that would be fair
In early war on the eastern front, my favorite is Bf109-E (4-7 series) In mid war on the eastern front it is IAR-80C In late war on the eastern front it is Bf109-G series In early war on the western front it is Spitfire MkI (yeah.. I know) In mid war on the western front it is the buther bird and the stang In late war on the western front they are Me262 and Me163 Don't really have favorites in the the Pacific war although the barrel is ugly enough for me to like it Should make one thread about bombers |

You're right!! In this case... Spit is No.1 because I like more Rolls Royce than Daimler Benz... Both planes were fantastic machines and they fought from the beginning to the end of WW2. And after the war... I think some israelian Avia S-199 fought against british/egyptian Spitfires during 1948 Arab-Israeli War. |

Here's an Me-109 for sale, if you have a spare 150,000E. http://www.hermann-historica.com/ (click on the mlitary vehicles catalogue, scroll down) I didn't know they had wood seats (ouch) and man, that is one small cockpit! |

Voted for the P-51 Mustang. Firepower and range are hard to top.
