Spitfire was my favorite as a kid, then the P-51D Mustang, and then the F4U Corsair. Was also a big fan of the F6 Hellcat. In the early '90s there was a WWII air combat sim game called 'AirWarrior,' that I played for awhile, which featured 'realistic' aerodynamics and performance parameters for each aircraft. So, for example, if you tried to hold a max rate flat turn in any plane, it'd quickly lose enough AS to stall, usually resulting in a spin. The Corsair would flip over into an upside-down flat spin, true to the actual plane's tendencies. I quickly learned the advantages/disadvantages between stall fighters and E fighters, and why planes like the Mustang and the Corsair were so feared by Axis pilots. |

Anyway, plenty of P51's and such, but there was a Corsair that just looked and sounded so badass. Was always fond of the Corsair after that day. |
