    Martin's B-26 and, belive it or not, the P-39/400/63 and Brewster's Buffalo - can't explain why, I just like them.

    Well I partially agree with 4th wilts, good choices all, but my favorite is the Beaufighter, it reminds me of Winston Churchill, pugnaciously ugly in a nice sort of way, but like a toad, very appealing to me. I am a sucker for those big radials and that shoved in nose with those 4 Hispanos in it plus 6 303's in the wings.

    I like the Beaufighter, too - I have several Hobby Master diecast models of it, among them the one that Guy Gibson flew. That said my favourite is the Hawk 75A - a grossly under-estimated plane.

    The Brewster Buffalo. It was at the same time the most successful fighter of the war and also the least successful. Try to beat that! ;)
