i like the Italian bombers.
That's only because they have toes.
If I could fly, and if I were told (during WWII) that I could have my choice of fighters, but on any given day I wouldn't know if I would be flying cover, ground attack, interceptor or whatever role, I'd go with a P-47. Those suckers could do anything and could get you home when others were sucking dirt.

And don't forget The Hawker Hurricane ......
Your dad is my hero. Anyone who can land on a carrier awesome in my book.
Don't forget the C-47 transport. Dropped many paratroopers and towed many gliders as well. Used for civilian transport as DC-3 Used in Vietnam as AC-47 gunship and still can find them flying today. Not very glamorous, but very versatile.
P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning, F-4U Corsair, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-40 Warhawk
Among the bombers - the B-17 Flying Fortress was King Kong!

I think I'm going to go with the aircraft that ended the war....the B-29.
This one didn't see combat in WWII, but was, without doubt, the most gorgeous aircraft of the day. You radial engine guys will love this one.
