Good afternoon Gentlemen,

this is simply an opinion thread.
In my personal opinion the most impressive military airplanes of the WW2 calendar years were:

1939: Ju 87 Stuka (Blitzkrieg)
1940: Hurricane (Battle of Britain)
1941: Bf 109 (Barbarossa)
1942: SBD Dauntless (scourge of the carriers)
1943: Fw 190 (claim records on the Eastern front)
1944: P-51 Mustang (deep into the Third Reich)
1945: B-29 Superfortress (inferno)
aircraft of the war: Il-2 Shturmovik (victory through tenacity)

Have a nice Tuesday,

Michael
