And, perhaps, the most noteworthy aircrafts in history?

Spitfire (Battle of Britain)
DC-3 Dakota (worlds workhorse and lifesaviour)
Fokker Dr.1 (Red Baron)

Gordon, if you were riding that trail, you'd be 90 now.


Not exactly the road less travelled, but you'd still be one lucky cowpoke.

travel to the masses)

Carried too few passengers at too high a cost. It was the Concorde of
its day, without the longevity. A conceptual dead end.

Spitfire (Battle of Britain)

I was going to have it on my list too but I couldn't remember if the
Battle of Britain fighter was the Spitfire or Tempest :-)

The most numerous fighter and the aircraft with the greatest
number of kills was the Hawker Hurricane.

Hurricane not Tempest was what I was thinking. I get the Spitfire,
Tempest, and Hurricane mixed up. I know what the Typhoon is, no mix
up there, but those others I always get screwed up.

The Hurricane played a big role in the Battle of Britain, and got little
of the glory. The Tempest was a mud mover used in ground attack, it was
the A-10 of WWII. Came after the BoB in about 1944 TOS.
