“When I saw those P-51s over Berlin I knew the jig was up.’’— Hermann Goering, 1944. The single best, most lethal , piston-engine fighter plane of WW2, if not of all time.

You do realize that statements like this have, on other discussion boards, led to arguments that run into the hundreds of pages ... right?

;-)

But, not wanting to contribute to that sort of thing, I'm not going to bring up the F4U-4 Corsair (which made it into combat near the end of the war). Nor the F8F Bearcat and Hawker Sea Fury (which just barely missed combat service ... but saw it elsewhere, like in Korea)
