[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Hello and welcome to the skies above Europe during 1939-1945. It is World War II. You are a pilot.

[HEADING=2]Please choose your side and your favorite aircraft.[/HEADING][footnote]The force with the most votes wins the popularity contest [/footnote]

Please spoiler your pictures. This can be done by posting like so:

[*spoiler] Your picture goes here [*/spoiler]

Remove the * and you are on your way.

Here is my pick:

Spoiler: RAF and the Supermarine Spitfire MK IX

I just love Spitfires and the RAF for kicking the Luftwaffe's ass repeatedly.

Anyway, your turn fellow history lovers. Take to the skies and bring your favorite force to victory!

[sub][sub][sub]I included Italy and France for those who like the underdogs. I know they did terribly [/sub][/sub][/sub]

EDIT: The poll (which clearly fled the scene) is as follows:

1) Luftwaffe (Germany)

2) RAF (Britain)

3) Red Air Force (Russia)

4) USAF (United States of America)

5) Regia Aeronautica (Italy)

6) Armée de l'Air (France)

Spitfire, and RAF, obviously. Why?
Because I live in the little town where the Supermarine Spitfire was designed.
And also modern hovercrafts, but that's something else...
Edit: Also, your poll is AWOL.

 

[Naheal]

I'll take this.

Damn it, and I put effort into it! Stupid internet gremlins.

Well, while most of the airforces had their positives and negatives, I'm going to have to go with the US Army Air Corps and the P-51 Mustang. Why? So I can use this clip, of course.

You said WWII. You weren't specific if you were looking at Europe or Pacific.

I reread the OP.

Also, a plane like the Enola Gay wouldn't fly unescorted in territory where they'd get involved in dealing with enemy aircraft.

 

[NotSoNimble]

I like this plane, I also like The Black Sheep Squadron


Corsair is better. Also, in case you didn't know =

Navy has the best pilots.

Heh, you're just mad 'cause I'd win. (Kidding.)

 

[SimuLord]

Give me the Luftwaffe's aircraft and tactics and Lockheed's production facilities.

I love the Messerschmitt BF-109. Just a beautiful death machine.

 

[Luftwaffles]

Spoiler

Also love the FW190 "Butcher Bird", on par with spitty mk4 and superior than the rest.

 

[Dana22]

The French were knocked out almost immediately. The Blitzkrieg was incredibly effective at what it did.

I purposely excluded it as this is a war in European airspace.

Sweet but who are you siding with?

 

[Jamash]

The RAF is my favourite air force, but I've got a few favourites planes including the Hawker Hurricane and the de Havilland Mosquito, however my absolute favourite is the Hawker Tempest.

Spoiler: Hawker Tempest

 

[Relent688]

Personally I am stuck between the Messerschmitt ME 163 Kommet. First jet airplane that was used until the Brits come up with the Gloster Meteor. I am also in love with the Messerschmitt 262 Schwalbe. Another great jet that was more practical and safer for the pilot than the Kommet. The Mustang is a great plane, as was the Spitfire, but they wouldn't stand a chance against these monsters, mostly because of the speeds.

Armée de l'Air (France), because you only need fight for 2 weeks, then you can spend the next 6 years on your arse complaining and drinking wine.

good times!

i understand that, as you need to add too many more countries if you include the pacific theatre, but surely the US airforce fought in the pacific as well? ;-)
