Sydney Camm: Hurricane, Typhoon, Tempest
Kurt Tank: Fw 190A, Fw 190D, Ta 152
Roy Chadwick: Avro Anson, Manchester and Lancaster.
Dutch Kindelberger: BT-9, AT-6, B-25, P-51
Ed Heinmann: A-20, SBD Dauntless
William Schwendler: F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat
Alexander Yakolev: Yak 1, 7, 9 and 3
Sergey Ilyushin: Il-2, Il-4
Tey Koyama: Ki-44 Shoki, Ki-84 Hayate
