It properly shocked the west.

For me it's the YF-110.

I know this feel deeply anon.

Eric Brown makes it sound very fun like when he spent time living in a caravan on a snow bound french airfield with 2 luftwaffe fieldwebel maintainers and an autisticly Prussian pilot restoring a Do-335 so it could be ferried to Britain and bickering like the odd couple in their downtime. Or when he just took a Me163 for a rocket powered test flight but had to write a note for the ground crew saying "I promise you won't be executed by firing squad if I get turned to goo by Hydrazine"

luv me mossie

>>64023702
Ah yes, the AR-15. Invented by proud Filipino scientist Armando Lite in a cave during Japanese occupation in WW2 and shamelessly stolen by the perfidious Americans.

Luv the USS Eugene, named after the eponymous city in Oregon.

The US Navy peaked here.

The greatest fighter of WW2 was the F4U Corsair change my mind

French Hawks were cool looking

I love the B-29, its so cool

I'll give you that

P-51 was objectively the best performing, even if it was a bit late

I'm still shocked the museum scrapped it last year. Must not have been a popular exhibit.

>>64024420
What a silly name. "Hidden See", well, which is it?

>>64026763
Really? The reasoning makes sense, given how thin the hull was and how much it would be to repair/rebuild, but that still sucks because having an enemy vessel was really cool.

>>64025447
This truthpost WILL summon the P-47 autists to the thread.

>uuhm AKCTUALLY it was le based Jug that did all the heavy lifting

It cost literally twice as much, was too short-legged to do air superiority, and was grossly inferior at everything except ground attack. We used it because there was nothing better, and it was replaced by the Mustang for a reason.

I shit you not, I had this boomer on quora unironically claim that the P-47N could go supersonic in a dive and recover, and claimed that the P-47 was robbed of sound barrier record.

Also if your favorite warbird is the P-38 for any reason other than pure aesthetics you most likely enjoy cuck porn. I'd rather fly a P-40.

You've got it wrong, it's the "Hidden (that) See(s)".

>>64023773
I really like the 410. Its a shame its basically unobtainium as an RC version unless its autistically built from scratch. A fate a lot of "non-posterboy" warbirds share.

Zero the US recovered from the Aleutians and tested.

>>64026917
F-82 with .50 cal pods for me thanks

Got to see the Blue Angels last year. Pretty cool.

>>64026763
It was made to the highest Soviet standards, which meant that the hull falling apart and repairing it would have meant pulling it into drydock.

>>64025056
That's the F4M Wildcat, boss.
Pic related is the F6M

For me? the M4M Marauder

So which one was the better plane in the end, the BF-109 with its carburetted Merlin engine or the Spitfire with its direct-injection DB-605?

>>64032343
The Merlin had better after-market support if you weren't German.

>>64032130
Madre mia. Honestly just shows the 109 was such a dead end design, no wonder pilots begged high command to replace it when the G came out. At least the muttvarians could feel good about themselves for being the reason why Germany couldn’t even win against Russian planes.

The P-38L mogged both.
P-47 had shitty range performance and fuel economy, even the bloated N variant for Pacific duty which was just an attempt to enlarge the airframe to stuff more fuel into it
Although performance (top speed) wise the P-38L was getting outclassed in 1945 by newcomers like the H Mustang, M and N Thunderbolt, D.103 Hornet it was still a superior and by then well-integrated systems, tricycle landing gear multirole fighter with turbosupercharged twin engines which even the P-82 didn't have
The P-38 was a true predecessor to the jet fighter era in several key design aspects. And, it served the war effort (took a couple years of trial-&-error protracted development which paid off in the final variants to get there) from the outset of the U.S. involvement 1942 until the end, and the entire Allied war effort in both theaters over 1,800 airframes converted as F-4 and F-5 photo reconnaissance: a role for which it was most perfectly suited
