This wouldn?t be the first time and, certainly not the last, that an impossible question seeks an answer.
The header for the "warbird" selection is " Piston Fighter/Attack Aircraft which in itself is a contradiction. A good fighter is too delicate to be successful in the attack role and, the other way around, an attack aircraft is too big and heavy to excel in the fighter role. Fighter as in interceptor that is but, then there are escort fighters, just to complicate matters further. Then there is the time issue. Are we discussing "best ever built", "best wartime", or what? Are we sure that we don?t leave a very potent candidate out due to lack of knowledge?
I?ve seen other fora going berserk over this question and none of them came up with an answer that all could agree upon so, please ......
