Hey Tig, This will probably be moved, so don't get a surprise.  It should be in the Real Aircraft forum...

And it's a 3 way tie for me between the Spitfire, Corsair, and Mustang. 

Sorry if i put it in the wrong forum, I guess I know for next time.   Now that you mentioned it, I've decided to replace the P-38 with the corsair. An obvious choice, really, but i didn't think of it before... Maybe that will help you choose, Dread Pirate Roberts. Then again it might make things harder for you...

P.S. If the mustang you're thinking of has an Allison engine DON'T vote for it. Mustangs with Allison engines shouldn't be alllowed to fly...  
+ P51 Mk1 =  

Woohoo another vote for the spitfire... by the way Heretic is your virtual cockpit/office a Ju 52? You do seem to like German aircraft...

Ahhh- it all makes sense now... although I love German aircraft too and Im not German... in fact, Heretic, the 109 comes second only to the Ju87 Sturzkampfluzeug on my 'top ten luftwaffe aircraft' list...

P-38 Lightning any and all models

Ja,die "Emil" ist nicht schlecht,aber die "Friedrich" oder "Kurfürst" ist weitaus besser.

Ich agree.
Ich fliege die Emil gern, aber Ich fliege lieber die Freidrich.

A.

Alright alright. I could never get the correct der die or das. Having three words for "the" is a bloody silly invention anyway.

Don't worry mate. I already have.

Im surprised to see no sine of the mosquito!!!! it is soooooo beautiful and unique. and wooden!!!!! mmmmmmmmm.. id give my left toe to see one of those flying again(i hope i wont regret saying that)

Mosquito save your toes
There is a guy in New Zealand building a new Mossie in his garage at home. The fuselage is completed already. He is currently working on the wings. I'll see if I can find some more stuff for you, I posted something a while back in Specific Aircraft

Ozzy

Brr...the nightmare of every Type VII sub...

Im a New Zealander myself so ive done alot of ivestigation.  The guy is building a whole range of bodies for the mosquito, a bit like a production line, but i dont think hes making the rest for a while.  BUT BUT BUT!!!!! THeres another man in New Zealand who has sittin in his back paddock, a complete mossie not used since it was sold, with engines and cockpit and all,(sure the engines will need an overhaul but its do-able).  And i think he also has a Mustang and two kitty hawks..But im only 76% sure on that..  And hes not gona sell any of them.

lol
cheers

My favorite is not on there. Its the P-40.

always the good old P-47D-25 with invasion stripes of course

I do believe the poll depends on the nationality of the respondants as well.  From the looks of the standings i'd say the Brits repsonded most with the Germans a close second and the other catagory in the lead obviously represents the many aircraft left out which could have claimed some of the American votes that normally would have gone to the Mustang and the Corsair. The first and second fastest piston fighters of the war.  Here are my picks.

Fighter: Mustang, Corsair tie
Bomber: B-25
Allied Fighter: Spitfire
Enemy Fighter: FW 190
Enemy Bomber: None, the Axis totally lacked a really good bomber.
Wonder Machine: ME 262

But, Hagar.  Bombers do count in this pole.  The header says "favorite WWII aircraft" Not specifically fighters. Bombers are indeed aircraft to.  Indeed, many respondants must be in the UK, else the Corsair and the Mustang would have garnered more votes.  Actually, the Mustang and Spitfire are so very similar.  The RR Merlin engine was indeed a twister.  Shame it isn't produced today.  I can just imagine what computer management and a FADAC system would do for it.  Indeed, who would need an over-priced, gas guzzling turbine if Merlines were still with us and evolved???  What a gem.

The header doesn't specify fighter but the poll does.
