Behold the Vampire Fb.5 In all its beauty. Nothing says Miss Great Britain like the gentle lull of 4 Hispano Mk.V 20 mm firing
You can’t go wrong with the Il-28 or Il-2 either.
The most successful fighter jet ever created is also the most beautiful imo. Eagles fan where you at
WOW the two seater typhoon is awfully ugly

Every other answer is wrong
Chinese J-20 Chengdu;
Russian Su-57;
American A-10 Warthog
Russian Tu-160;

…still the Me 262 with 540 kills.
The inflated F-86 kill claims were debunked decades ago…
over 100 kills and its KD still returns an error
what is 262 KD again?
Some aircraft I like the look of with maple flavour(I have more planes, but this is good for now)
Success is measured in kills, not K/D young padawan :-)
success isnt measured in either, its measured in cost invested vs cost induced, which is more related to KD than raw kills
For a fighter the only relevant number is, was and will be the total number of killed enemy aircraft (in the air and not on the ground).
no it isnt? production cost, and cost of losses is very important because in any extended conflict economic and industrial bases be come more and more important
Antonov An-225 Mriya
There can only be one and that’s the Spitfire. It’s practically a scientific fact that the Spitfire is the most beautiful aircraft ever made. It’s pretty much perfect from every angle.
She drew envy and admiration from her enemies, was almost non-stop the best all round dogfighter in the world (granted it’s thirstier than a Mustang but you don’t buy a Bentley for fuel economy) and could be adapted for multiple different roles. She fought in almost every theatre of the war and with the Hurricane successfully defended its island home against the German war machine despite the odds.
Modern aircraft are great but they’re largely built and designed by machines for wars usually being fought thousands of miles away. The Spitfires were built by the people, damn strong people both men and women as their homes and the very factory they worked in was being bombed by a force that at this point must’ve seemed almost invincible.
It’s not just the looks that makes the Spitfire truly special. But the people that made it and flew it.
“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few”
Clearly by far the Hs 129 B-2 Ente.
