The different aircrafts in the war were made by different companies and from different nations. The most overlooked aircraft in the war was the De Havilland DH.98. The nickname for this plane was “The Wooden Wonder” because it was mostly made of wood through the design of the aircraft. The P 51 Mustang was designed to help the Allies win the war, it outperformed the German planes too. The top speed of the aircraft is 437 miles per hour.
The Focke-Wulf 190 some say it’s the best piston fighter in the war. 20,087 were built by the end of the war. The top speed of the aircraft was 388 miles per
