Excuse me.......

P-38 Highest Kill ratio in the Pacific......They most certainly did not NEED
the second engine to get home, although it sure could be nice in the rare
instances it was. (in Europe it was a different story, Turbo Ducting on the
early models caused fires at the altitudes/low temps they flew over the
continent....never a problem in the Pacific or the J/L series)

P-39 Dog of a fighter, great ground attack.....

P-40 Faster down low then the Zero, one of the fastest roll rates in WW2,
could take a lot of punishment.

P-51

Kawasaki Hein (known as the Tony) Fast late model Japanese fighter, first
starting showing in numbers in '43.

Europe:

BF-109 The most produced fighter of the war.....

TA-152 The High Speed High Altitude version of the FW190...with a large two
stage supercharged Inline.
