... But, IMHO, perhaps the BEST piston-driven single-engine fighter in WW-II ...

... was Kurt Tank's amazing 472MPH (w/Nitrous Boost!) Ta-152! ...​

However, when you consider OVERALL FIREPOWER, Über-BAD ATTITUDE. BRUTE FORCE And SPEED ...

... I'd HAVE to give my SINGLE VOTE to the 474MPH Dornier Do-335 "Pfeil" or "Arrow" ...​

Everyones' first response would usually be either the Spitfire or Mustang.



Yours are thoughtful examples.



But I would at least have to consider the Russian IL-2 Sturmovik that was dubbed "The Flying Tank"
