For my money it's the Supermarine Spitfire. In production at the outset of the war and after its conclusion. Unequalled as an air superiority fighter at all altitudes across different marks it also shone as a photo reccie and fighter bomber and served on aircraft carriers with equal distinction. A testament to the old adage "if it looks right it is right"
Sorry Mike, I have to disagree. The Spit didn't have the speed, endurance or firepower the Mustang did. Or for that matter the P-38 or the Jug. .
I would agree with the Mustang but only after it had been fitted with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine
