OK, not really a warbird topic, but modified to fit warbirds...
What were the top 5 most significant racers in terms of their contributions to piston engine fighter design of airframe/powerplant and why. Also what are the top 5 most significant racers postwar if the first topic is too esoteric.
My first 5 to start the juices...no particular order, and not really well thought out...but close.
Travel Air Mystery Ship, S6B, "Time Flies", "Me 109" D-INJR,
Curtiss R series, DC-2 in the MacRobertson Race....
Begine, Red Baron, Conquest One, Cobra II and Cleland's # 94
