Mustang was often credited as the plane that won the war...

I still like the FW-190A series for its duribility and versitility. After that, I would probably say the LA-7, just for the sheer ownage I get while playing with in in IL2:FB.

The P-51 Mustang with the Merlin engine was a jack of all trades, it had good speed, good climb, turned very well, and due to the rear fuselage mounted fuel tank excellent range. It was not the best.

Best fighter I would say would be a toss up between a Spitfire XIV, Tempest II/V, Yak-9, Ki-84 Hayate, and P-51H.

In the case of each aircraft the altitude of engagement will be a deciding factor.

My favorite aircraft would be a P-39 Airacobra as modified by the Riussians and flown by Aleksandr I. Pokryshkin, a pilot who I rate as one of the 3 best fighter pilots of WW2.

I like the P-51, solely because she was a beaut, and well, kicked ass.

The corsair was a mighty good plane, my second choice would be the LA-7 or the spitfire.

FOr americans, I would say the Corsair. For russians, the p-39, yes, I know, american planes, but the russians made it into one of the best damn fighter planes ever. For brits, the Spitfire, for Germans, the Me262, and for japs, the George (forget offical title).
