Crappy picture of the Mustang, doesn't do justice.
At least Corsair wasn't a choice. That would have made it more difficult by some.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

The P-38 and P-51, while being about the best planes out there, weren't lookers.
It's technically a fighter/bomber, but the De Havilland Mosquito takes some beating for looks.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

Well, I think the P-51 is very pretty.
THE MOSQUITO IS A DOGASS UGLY AIRPLANE.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Corsairs and the later Jap fighters such as the George and the other one forget it's name... a late war fighter that they were forced to make out of wood."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

The P-51 was always the enemies worst nightmare as the Germans saw it. The rest were just best for museums and to look at. The P-51 was the real flying stuff.
The Spitfire ain't that great compared to it.
Here is a better picture of the Mustang:
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay.

I've never seen a picture of the Yak and the other Russian planes. I'm curious as to what they look like. anyone got a link to pics of them?
