Default RE: which country had the best fighter planes of WWII

Hi guys, Dont forget the russians were mucking about with rocket powerd planes as far back as the 1930s ,trouble was stalin came along and shot most of his design team. Dont foget our spitfire, it went right through the war with little change to the air frame. The engines just got bigger and bigger. When the german pilots got hold of the forka wolff they thought they were still up against the early spits. One german pilot being interviewd on tv said he couldnt believe it when he was in a steep climb and a spit overtook him. Great fighters were the mustang , jap zero was the most sophisticated plane of the tme , and thats a fact. Who needs war anyway , what a fantastic world this would be if we could all get along together. SEASONS GREETINGS TO ALL YOU GUYS OUT THERE. If you cant walk on water learn to swim[sm=drowning.gif]
