Fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make history. I would want to fly the B-29 in WWII. My favorite bomber of all time is the B-58.

Having flown the Thunderbolt II, it would have to be another fine piece of Republic iron, the P-47.

The Spitfire for me, if nothing else then just because of its sheer beauty!


'The fact is simple. The Spitfire looked good. It was every bit as dashing as the young men who flew it, and in flight it was as graceful as any bird. Its progress through the sky seemed effortless, as though it was simply riding the breeze and its Merlin engine was only there to provide a suitable soundtrack. You had Mr. Churchill on the radio explaining that we'd never surrender, and above you had the Spitfire, and you couldn't help thinking: Yes, we can win this thing. Possibly, just possibly, the Spitfire is the greatest machine ever made.'
Jeremy Clarkson
