P-38, P-40, F4F, F4U, P-39

Corsair. I've loved it since I was a kid. There's just something about that gull wing behind the big radial engine.

P-39, my Mom made parts for them. She was a "Rosy the Riveter" during the war …

P-40. I think. But it could be Corsair. Or P-36.

P-51D

P-38 or the A-26.

P-39 or the PBM flying boat (a neighbor was a crewman in ine)

P38

P-47 for me, specifically in natural metal finish. Nothing says "we don't care about being seen" like all that shiny aluminium.

F4U Corsair

Mustang for cool looks and versatility. P-39 because it is so weird it's cool.

P38

A-20

P-51 Mustang D

SBD 'cause I wanna kill somethin' big, an' I don't wanna see it anymore.

P 47

Jug with the bubble.

P-51D for me, at least for the fighter (P-38's a close second).

B-17G for the bomber.

The Dakota

P-38 or P-40…it's a toss-up.

P-51 Mustang D
F4U Corsair
P-47 Thunderbolt
