Mustang, agreed.
Spitfire, for the fact that it was such a stretchable design.
109, partly because it IS my favorite and it was flown by almost all the top scoring aces of all time.
Focke Wulfe ( not foker wolf) 190, for being applicable to so many different roles.
But not the Zero, it was only ascendent for 6 months. Then the Hellcat and Corsair trounched it.
So No.5 would be the Macchi Mc.202

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
