Just wondering who you all think was the most successful aircraft designer of WWII. It's a very august group. The top ones in my opinion are:
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 |
