I've always likes the P-38. I can't say why. Perhaps the fact that it looks so different from most of the other planes of it's era.

My favorite bomber is the B-17. Here in Houston, we've got "Texas Raiders" that fireftr18 posted up on the north side, and down south in Galveston, we've got "Thunderbird". Every so often, you hear that sound, look up, and watch as one of these legends passes overhead.

Lately, I've really come to appreciate the C-47. It's not a sleek, sexy fighter, or a heavy hitter, but it was important in its role in winning the war, and the fact that there's still folks using it today is just impressive.
