They are actually one of the unsung heroes of aerial warfare and of modern warfare(20th/21st century) in general.I have a lot of respect for anyone who flew a prop powered recon plane in WWII or a RF-101 or RF-4 over Vietnam that took balls no defense but speed.Without their intel you have nothing at all really but a wild guess.

The thread is about WWII aircraft not other wars if you want to talk about post WWII/modern or WWI start another thread I am sure that many will post their thoughts.When it comes to aircraft there are so many it is better to split them into time periods and you could really give helicopters their own section as well.
