I watch the Battle of Britain every chance I get. Don’t even care about the âlove angleâ of the movie. I watch to see the Hurricanes and Spitfires in action.But even above them I think the Mustang was the sexiest and best aircraft of WW2.

Ditto.
I would love to fly either one of them.
I agree. Once they super-charged that Merlin, I would say it was the greatest aircraft produced during the war.
My dad flew all three in combat. He loved the Spitfire for its beauty and maneuverability, but felt that overall, the Mustang put all other fighters in the shade.
In honor of Pulaski Day, the classic scene in The Battle of Britain, featuring the 303rd Kosciuszko Squadron. The Poles mostly flew Hurricanes, not Spitfires, though.
