I'd have to say my personal favorite would be the P-51 Mustang. I'm into the R/C hobby and thinking of getting a P-51 Mustang to fly.

Well, If I had to chose just one it would be '' The wooden wonder ''! There are many beautiful and fanstic designs from this era. But my first coice would be the De Havilland Mosquito, a jack of all trades! Bomber, Pathfinder, Nightfighter, Long range recon or torpedo plane. There was even one version that mounted a real canon!
Fast, very fast!
Here comming in low and fast!

You'd go down well with my lad Kodiac. He was into radio controlled planes for quite a while, until we moved over to Lancashire, we still have 2 stored up in the loft.

1 is a Limbo Dancer for acrobatics, the other is a Long Cabin, once it's up you have to make it land. 6foot wing span 40cc engine quite slow but very stable. The limbo dancer with the right controller is extremely agile, again a 40cc engine and given the right conditions you can get it to hover.

The absolute most BEAUTIFUL aircraft to grace the skies was the Spitfire..hands down.
The Mosquito sure runs a close 2nd-in my books.(Course-the Typhoon got a bad/slow start..but once the bugs were out & used in the PROPER role-it was quite a kite,as well!!) Hoadie |

Mine would be
the Catalina sea craft (US I think) after the Stuka. My Father in-law served in New Guinea WW2 and flew home in a Catalina at wars end. I remember the story he told me of flying over the Great Barrier Reef, whilst sitting in the bomb aimers seat,the view was fantastic. Fond memories he told me of his experiences,after he died the eldest daughter found all these black and white pics of the native women topless she threw them out. |

Though both a little late to make any real difference, my choice are the Me 262 and f9f Bearcat.

Only a crew of 2.... Well able to defend itself and capable of carrying a bigger bomb load than a B17G

You might get to see this really classy Mk IX Spit. if you live in the right places. There's a real time flight tracker app under "about". |
