No one has posted some of the excellent American aircraft.
Now I love the P-51D (vastly underpowerd until the rolls-royce upgrade) The p-38 lightning is a fav at airshows, fast as hell but I've heard unstable.
My favorites though are the workhorses, the B-25's and B-24 liberators. The Doolittle raid was just amazing and impossible without them.
Flashy is cool but there's just something about a plane that could go that far.
For that matter, the B-29 superfortress was a marvel too.
