You forgot an important one: Petlyakov PE-2
I've always wondered if the Pe-2 should be considered a "fighter-bomber" or a light-bomber?
The difference, when you think about it, is so blurred. THe Me-110 was first developed as a heavy fighter - but then the Mosquito was developed as a bomber, that turned into a fighter...
At that point, I guess the differences are academic (if the Ju-88 can be made into a fighter, then ....)
I agree, the Pe-2's contribution to the overall war effort was probably as significant (if not more so) than the IL-2 family.

It's interesting that you pose the Ta-154 - it had the potential...
Don't forget that it looked sexier than its english counterpart.

OK... How about a 3-engine version with only one, center seat ? Multi-fuselage control linkages make me nervous anyway..

Think I would have to go with the Beaufighter. A real beast of an aeroplane & (unlike the wooden Mossie) suitable for all theatres.

THE HP HAMPDEN WAS NOT WOODEN! (and it looked more like a hairbrush, not a stick!)
