Jap Zeroes were the fastest planes in WW2 for the longest time. Plus wars are fought politically, like a giant chess game. No one really has any regard for the life of a soldier, which is why all soldiers are given numbers. Besides...if we didn't fight WW2 we'd be speaking German right now cause we would have had to give all the land to Hitler to prevent it. Then again he really came about because of WW1...which is a different story lol

it was F6f hellcat

great plane known as the ace maker

Yeah the Hellcat was an kick ass plane. That was built to oppose the zeroes though, it was put into action like around October of 1943. The Japanese used Zeroes from the beginning of their time in the war. Once the hellcats took the skies though Zeroes faded away. By the end of the war I don't think they were using them anymore.

Thompson,

A German propaganda film and a Russian one that seems to be made with captured German footage rather than a captured German FW isn't what I was looking for. You stated that the Germans used the same quality aircraft on both fronts which I dispute. I was looking for real world documentation of types and numbers.

It would be like saying all sides used jets in WWII, while technically true in the most marginal of senses, the Germans were the only ones to widely deploy them and their effect was marginal anyway.

Oh, and Caitlyn's point about the 88s is a damn fine one too

SimplyMichael:
If you cannot find it on the net perhaps you might want to peruse the following..."The Luftwaffe Data book" isbn1853672939 . It lists all Luftwaffe aircraft along with the where and when of their use during WW II
