The title of this video should be “10 WWII fighters in random order”
Yeah it’s complete nonsense - there’s literally no justification for P-38 to be top 5 never mind #1
@@audigex The germans remarked it as one of the hardest fighters to go against in the war
@@audigex the top US ace flew it
@@Sshooter444 yeah, and it was introduced early and had a lot of good features, but still. Honestly, Mustang earned #1, I’d have been okay with Spit or 190, actually expected ME-262 watching it in real time, but if you’re going to choose the Lightning over those guys you have to explain your criteria and make an argument. At least it’s not the same old list though. :)
The yak 3 should be 10th place
Isn’t it amazing, you learn something new every day, you know I never realised that the P-38 was a SINGLE engined fighter, lol.
Lol yea
New one on me .
She said single seat
@@bryanwegman7258, if you read the specification description it states - “Powerplant - 1 X Allison engine”
@@mrjockt typo :3
THE ORDER IN THIS LIST, IT'S ABSOLUTELY
B.S..!!!
Where is Me262
Same place that the F-8F Bear Cat is.
If there going to have the P38 then the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito on the list as well
I reckon the Mosquito would have a P38 for breakfast. It's a scandal It's not on the list.
@@markstott6689 at night, as a night fighter only.. The Mosquito may be able to outrun the P-38, but not outfight it in daylight combat.
The mosquito, the Tse-tse fly and the Hornet and Naval variant the Sea Hornet.
@@markstott6689 not likely as the mosquito was not a "fighter" and wasn't used as one
@@markstott6689 the scandal is how little you know
even some Italian aircraft such as MC 202 and MC 205 were very good even according to the Germans and the British
The FIAT G55 and G56 were considered the best Axis fighters, even by the Germans. The problem was the little number produced...
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_G.55
they had very good performance compared to the common allied and axis fighters at the time
@@Johnnyprc the G56 was developed in early 44, in September Italy capitulated
comparing late versions of allied planes with first versions of german planes...
"Superior" german engineering deserves enemies to match its finesse, wouldn't you say?
Remember the P.51 Mustang only came in to its own when decided to put a Spitfire Merlin Engine in it.
The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built version of the two-speed two-stage-supercharged Merlin 66, and was armed with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) AN/M2 Browning machine guns.
You also have to take in account that most Mustangs where made with N/A Allison or single stage Allisons with no drop tank hardpoints as requested by British and American brass.
@@KandRbar wait, what? I’m not sure what you’re claiming, but by far the bulk of p-51’s had license-built variants of the Rolls-Royce engine. By far.
Note by the way that this wasn’t some far-fetched experimental brain flash to put Rolls-Royce’s in the airframes, they were already doing it with P-40’s with engines already being produced in the USA.
True, early mustang was a piece of shit.
The definitive version: The P-51D was the most produced (8,200), but not the very last variant, it was the P-51H (+ K). - As for the Mustangs: The F-82 Twin Mustang can also be mentioned, but it no longer fought in WWII (It was in the Korean War). - (CZ 🖐😉)
@@zdenekkopecny4928 The D model is the one that did most of the fighting though. It doesn’t matter for lists, this is just entertainment. But when we’re talking about impact on the war, it’s really all settled by the end of 44, maybe even by d-day. After that the luftwaffe went into a death spiral - still produced planes in abundance but no fuel for training etc. got ugly for them. edit - I’m watching cat videos lol silly
This is a bit random, hawker tempest? Fastest piston engined fighter to see large scale deployment not there Hawker hurricane took down most of the planes in Battle of Britain, not there. Need I go on!
I thought the Hawker Hurricane would be on the list for sure.
How is Tempest the fastest? Bf 109K-4 was faster as was Spitfire XIV. Both saw large scale deployment.
@@zenonelealainen3750 No. Tempest is faster. And it also has better acceleration.
@@friedyzostas9998 The Tempest V has a top speed of 700km/h. Don't know if it's in combat weight or in minium weight. The K-4 has a top speed of 710km/h in combat weight and 724km/h in minium weight.
@@zenonelealainen3750 mhm, okay
There is an error in your recording of the FW190. It appears here as having a Klimov V12 power plant when in actual fact it was powered by a BMW 802 radial engine.
BMW 801.
FW 190 D 9 version had a Junker Jumo 213, V12 liquid-cooled engine
@@andyc3088 they were referred to as the TA 152 and were built for very high altitude fighting with the P51D Mustang.
@@anthonycunningham5872 The engine used on the TA 152 was the Junker Jumo 213, the high altitude the TA 152h version was build because the Germans thought that had the war gone into 1946, the American Air Force would use the B29 and to be used against high flying Mosquitos. The Klimov V12 was a Soviet engine, which powered Soviet fighters during WW2
@@anthonycunningham5872 No, the TA 152 is a seperate aircraft. The FW190 D (Dora) is also known as the Long Nose FW190 and is just a re-engined 190 to give better high altitude performance. It looks different but it still is an FW190. Kurt Tank to the characteristics of the Dora, extended the wings and fuselage and it became the new 152.
Corsair at #8? I call bullshit on this one.
Absolutely! The plane that it mopped the floor with is placed ABOVE it? WTF!
Whole heartedly agree, of course the order of all these planes is all screwed up.
Dito especially when its the F4U4 the 4 was better then all the other allied planes in this video it being better then the p51 is debatable
What about the f8f? The ta-152? The ki-84? And you place the p-38 in first place?
F8F never saw combat along with Ta-152
F8F not deployed in combat
@@bowenzhou5264 Yup, it never saw Combat in the war.
@@sovietsomething I think Ta152 did see combat in Ww2 very little Though.
That woman dont know what she is talking about
Maybe she looks good because she is otherwise brainless. Is this the daughter of Joe Biden?
I would like to know what qualities they used and how they chose the ranking.
The answers would be:
Name recognition
Randomly
The FW 190 was not equipt with a klimov engine. The engine for the FW was a BMW 801.
Seeing as the spitfire and hurricane potentially saved world democracy and fought for so much more than the rest the hurricane should definitely be on the list and the spitfire should be far and away number 1 and also the hawker typhoon may deserve a spot
Same goes to tempest and ta154 my eyes the best of ww2
It can be argued that the Mustang saved the entire allied bombing campaign.
Bill Brandley One other planes escorted allied bombers not just the mustang two the mustang only became good when they stuck the merlin engine in it and three the bombing campaign was over German cities that didn’t have a major impact on the allied war effort whereas if the U.K. had lost the Battle of Britain Britain may have been invaded putting an end to any western front and possibly meaning losing the war
@@archiecroft7114 I agree, This list is whacked, The Spit and hurricane deserve more recognition! no Merlin engine was put in a production P-51 (the UK put it in their Mustangs to make the "Mustang Mk III"). the production P-51D used a Packard 1650-7 🤣 (get the joke here?) but it's true, without US built Packard-Merlins the UK would have been hard pressed to supply all of it's Lancasters, Mosquitoes, Spitfires and Hurricanes with Merlins.
Put the Union flag away,the P51d was a better fighter,and the Russian aircraft probably contributed more to Allied victory
where is the Hawker Hurricane?
What's the Lufwaff?
Where's the ME 262 the very first jet fighter?????????
ME 262 is best
I believe the ME 262 should be the first on the list. It was the most advanced aircraft of its time
My list of the best single engined propeller fighters of the WW2 is below:
1) Messerschmitt Bf 109 - The most successful fighter in history with more than 100 pilots claiming more than 100 victories with it. The 109 was able to stood the time during the years when the development of fighter aircraft was faster than ever before or after and remained as the best or one of the best fighters throughout 1937-1945.
2) Focke-Wulf Fw 190/Ta 152 - Was far superior to any of its enemies when it first came to action in august 1941 and remained as the best fighter aircraft in the world until mid 1943. Throughout the war it remained as one of the best fighters. The Dora versions and the Ta 152s in 1944-1945 were better in high altitude than the famous P-51s. Fw 190 is the second most successful fighter in history. No other fighter during WW2 was that much better than all the other fighters as the Fw 190As were from august 1941 to mid 1942.
3) North American P-51 Mustang - Excellent high altitude and long-range fighters that played a large role in turning the tide in WW2. The B version was better than any of its opponents at the time it arrived in august 1943. The D version had a superior range, but was overweight and in fighter vs. fighter combat was worse than the Fw 190Ds and the Bf 109G-10s and the K4s and the Nakajima Ki 84s.
4) Supermarine Spitfire - Bf 109s long time opponent and another plane that was able to stood the time. The Mk 1s were the best fighters in the world alongside the Bf 109Es. The emergence of the 109Fs and Fw 190s started a year and an eight months long period during which the Spitfires were truly outmatched by its enemies, but after the emergence of the Spitfire IX it found its place back to the company of the best and stayed there until the end of the war.
5) Mitsubishi A6M Reisen "Zero" - The best carrier based fighter plane in 1940-1943. Had a huge impact in the war in 1941-1943. The lightweight design allowed it to fly longer than any other fighter at that time and beat all the other planes in turning fights while its lack of armour and self-sealing fuel tanks made it vulnerable to enemy fire. The "Zero" did not stood the time that well and was outmatched by its new opponents in 1943.
6) Vought F4U Corsair - The powerful gull-winged fighter that ended the reign of the Zero in the Pacific in 1943. A fast and a maneuverable long-range fighter. Was one of the best fighters in the world alongside the Fw 190, the Bf 109 and the Spitfire in early 1943 when it was first given to combat units and is the best carrier-based fighter aircraft to see action during the WW2 even though they didn't use it as a carrier based fighter that much. Its late war version, the F4U-4 was one of the fastest propeller aircrafts during the WW2. F4Us also reached an 11:1 kill ratio during the war and could carry a heavy load of weapons.
7) Macchi C.202/205 - The best Italian fighters in the WW2. At the time of its arrival in the spring of 1941, the C.202 was one of the best fighters in the world and a better than the new Spitfire V that arrived at the same time. It was better at high altitude than the Spitfire V and could turn better at any altitude. In 1943 when better opponents started to emerge, the C.205 came to play and it very much matched the Spitfire IX that arrived around at the same time.
8) Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate - As a single plane, the Ki-84 was the best propeller fighter of the WW2. It basically had it all: long range, extreme high-altitude capability, speed, agility, firepower and a heavy armour. This was the japanese late war air superiority fighter that in a plane vs. plane fight was superior to any other single engined fighter of the WW2. The reason why it isn't in the top of this list, is its low impact on the war and that it simply came too late as it first saw action in the november of 1944.
9) Dewoitine D.520 - The french new super-fighter in 1940 was the only other fighter to come close or to match with the Spitfire and the Bf 109. The D.520 was a highly agile interceptor that had a better turn rate and a better rate of climb than the Bf 109E. Its reign though didn't last long as France fell to Germany only five months after the type was first given to combat units.
10) Republic P-47 Thunderbolt - A Powerful and a heavy fighter that had an enormous firepower. Was able to take the role of a fighter-bomber as well as the role of a long range bomber escort fighter. Was decent at high altitudes. Though the heavy plane wasn't that great in a fighter vs. fighter combat. Looking the things from all aspects, the P-47 was probably the best allied fighter aircraft when it first stepped into service in the november of 1942.
11) Lavochkin La-5/La-7 - The La-5 was one of the most successful allied aircraft when it first stepped into service in the summer of 1942. It was extremely suitable for the low altitude battles of the eastern front as it had a great performance at low altitudes and could out-turn its opponents at low altitude. Some of the axis pilots said that the La-5 was a more dangerous opponent than the P-51 Mustang. Its disadvantages though were its short range and that it wasn't great at mid to high altitudes.
12) Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 - The MiG-3 was the best fighter at high altitudes alongside with the Bf 109 in 1941-1943. It was designed as a high altitude interceptor and was at its best at high altitudes, but its performance deteriorated in contrast to its opponents when flying at mid to low altitudes. Unfortunately for the MiG, the battles in the eastern front took place mostly at low altitudes. It was the best allied fighter for a year in 1941-1942.
13) Kawanishi N1K2-J Shiden-Kai - The japanese Corsair. It is hard to find a reliable source for its performance specifications since many sources give its top speed as 594km/h, while the true top speed has been something more than 670km/h. One source though gives its top speed as 710km/h with a boost. Anyways the Shiden-Kai would have been a high performance fighter. It entered into service in january 1945 and similarly to the Ki-84 which had entered into service two months earlier it was highly maneuverable and fast with a heavy armament and a heavy armour protection. Unlike the Ki-84 though it wasn't a capable high altitude fighter. It was one of the best late war fighters, matching with the best, but only 415 of them were built.
14) Fiat G.55 - Similar to the C.205, was one of the three "Serie 5" Italian fighters built around the powerful Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine. Sometimes considered to be the best of the three planes, but as I treat the Macchis as a one whole, I have to list them higher. Was a very equal compared to the often praised Spitfire IX that became available at around the same time.
15) Reggiane Re.2005 - Similar to the C.205 and the G.55, was one of the three "Serie 5" Italian fighters built around the powerful Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine. Was the most heavily armed of them. Only 48 were built and therefore the plane had less significance.
16) Hawker Typhoon/Hawker Tempest - Excellent low altitude fighters and ground-attack aircrafts. The Typhoon was fast at low altitude, but had several problems and the Tempest was the fastest propeller fighter at the time it entered into service in june 1944 and unlike the Typhoon, didn't have those problems.
17) Yakovlev Yak-3/Yak-9U - A Pair of excellent late war low altitude interceptors. The first Yaks, Yak-1 and Yak-7, were nothing special, but as the development progressed they evolved into one of the best low altitude dogfighters of the war.
18) Grumman F6F Hellcat - Was the first actual carrier based fighter that was used as a carrier based fighter that surpassed the Zero. The Hellcat was a powerful aircraft that relied on its horsepowers, speed and a rugged design and on its heavy armament.
19) Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien "Tony" - When the Ki-61 entered into service in the spring and summer of 1942, it was far superior to its opponents Curtiss P-40 and Grumman F4F Wildcat. The americans had developed certain tactics against the earlier japanese fighters Mitsubishi A6M Zero and the Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa relying in the strengths of the american planes compared to their opponents, but the arrival of the Ki-61 took these advantages of from the americans as they didn't have any strengths against the "Tonys". When the "Tony" first saw action, it was one of the best fighters in the world, but it stood the time poorly and wasn't able to evolve like some of the other types. There were also engine problems wich weren't fully fixed until a new model that had changed into a radial engine.
20) I can't decide the last plane on this list, but top 19 looks so stupid that there should be one more plane on this list, so I leave the last plane for others to decide. My favorites for the last spot are the Kawanishi N1K1-J Shiden, Mitsubishi J2M Raiden and the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk. Well, maybe it should be 20) Kawanishi N1K1-J Shiden, 21) Mitsubishi J2M Raiden, 22) Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, 23) Hawker Hurricane, 24) Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki, 25) Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa, 26) Bell P-39 Airacobra, 27) Grumman F4F Wildcat...
Very good. You have covered the subject well.
space your stuff out next time, though I do 100% agree with your list, except the D.520, sure it was good for a country about to be occupied by the Nazis but in terms of all of ww2? the thing is, because of the occupation, it didnt have much service life while other planes you mentioned like the spit, Lavochkin series, or the 109 served the whole war
You know your stuff very well but how can you have the Zero above the Corsair when you admit after that the Corsair ended it's superiority
Rubbish, with your pro-German bias, id take a Spitfire MK9 over any 109 and Focke anyday of the week.
@@cpj93070man really said that the FW 190 had better high altitude performance when even the Dora struggled against P51s and altitude and the tA 152 was barely able to match it
the warbirds of WW2 is probably the most legendary planes in the world
For everyone making a case for this plane or that should be on this list.... here is my response to someone else's such case.....
I generally hate these videos from The Buzz because the lists seem so random with hard to understand or stupid criteria for placement. In this case the primary criteria I take to be "significantly impacted the course of the war" as mentioned at the very beginning of the video. "Gloster Meteor, Me 262, Do 335, Ki-84" (in my opinion) none of these can make a case for significantly impacting the course of the war over the fighters on the list for one reason or another. Jets for example were just too late and in in too few numbers for significant impact of the war. By the same criteria the Zero was revolutionary for its prewar period, struck reputational fear in early war years and fought for a longer period which included the China (pre USA) war years than the F-4U which was indeed a MUCH better fighter, just later and with less overall impact considering its late start and initial limited operational use. These The Buzz videos do suck though and I hate myself a little for coming back and rewarding them with more views of a crappy product. lol
In a way though it’s nice to see something different.
where are the Yak-9, La-5FN, La-7, P-39 ? Yak-3 in 10th place ??
P-38, lol, yeah okay. Couldn't dive, couldn't dogfight, had constant engine reliability problems, but it beats the P-47, P-51 and Spitfire. Gotcha!
@@Slaktrax It was the first plane to break the sound barrier in a DIVE. however i do agree with you otherwise.
Craig Campbell uhhhhh, no?
@@TPaine1776 Wut???? Lol. Prop planes could not pass the sonic barrier up to these days as a single piece... Cuz physics... I searched on google - the only thing that went supersonic was the airflow over some part of the wing. The plane had speed of 0.67M. IDK how the plane was supersonic...
saw the p38 ranked at no.1
reached for the mouse and hit the ESC button
thanks for wasting ten minutes of time I could have been to bed earlier
Hawker Tempest mk. V?
ME262 was really the best fighter of WW2
Agreed, it no competition in the skies. It could outrun all its opponents with ease. The only real success the Allies had against it was during its landings, otherwise it was untouchable.
Totally agree the ME262 should have been top of this list
The P-80 and MIG-15 outclassed it in almost every way
Wait! Where are the Mosquitos? Humm?
Although the Mossi was a very good plane at a LOT of things, a dogfighter was not one of them.
It seems to me that selecting a "best" fighter should take into about how they best accomplished their missions. Without referring to their mission, it becomes very hard to judge their effectiveness. Also, these bests (which video's list does do) is rate the plane on their overall impact to the war, not just some low production pipe dream that was too late to move the needle. Some thoughts on bests:
- Best strategic interceptor - Spitfire - Yes the Hurricane was the main combatant of the Battle of Britain, but it was the Spitfire that took on the (my view) heavier load of facing the Bf109s. And the Spitfire's ability to upgrade it's platform over the years kept it there, but the unfortunate inability to carry a significant amount of gasoline meant that it's primary role for much of the war would be defensive.
- Best tactical interceptor - FW 190 - The decent rate of climb coupled with the tremendous gun load meant for significant troubles for Allied bombers. But given the production capability of the Allies, no Axis fighter would make a long term dent in the Allies plans for aerial domination.
- Best naval fighter - F6F Hellcat - The Pacific War was perhaps "the" arena for naval aerial combat. The F6F employing the lessons of the earlier combat with the F4F Wildcats plus significant airframe and power adds made the Hellcat completely dominant wherever Essex class carriers went.
- Best turn and burn dogfighter - Zero - The Japanese, especially with the cadre of well trained fighters early in the war, when challenged to dogfights invariable defeated their enemy (until their enemy learned that dogfighting was not how you beat these planes). Technically, these fighters were able to fight close in successfully because of the tradeoffs the Japanese decided to make (like lack of armor, self sealing fuel cells, etc.).
- Best strategic fighter - P51 - It was ultimately the P51 that enabled the destruction of the Luftwaffe as a fighting force. With range to chase Axis fighters anywhere over German held territory and enough speed to even use energy tactics against the ME262, it was the P51 taking the allies to the victory line.
- Best ground attack fighter - P47 - simply the most massive, damage absorbing, weapon carrying fighter on the Allies side.
- Best all around fighter - High altitude, naval combat, ground attack, aerial combat, energy tactics - this has to go to the F4U. Other planes may perform certain aspects better, but if only one fighter were allowed from each country based on historical performance, the F4U would be the clear winner in the all around category.
- (Perhaps just a plug for the P38) - Best fighter for its historical role in both major theaters - P38. Successful early on in Europe. Also a successful Army Air Corp fighter in the Pacific. No other fighter has had the same impact in both theaters.
- Night fighter - Me110 - a terrible fighter for daytime operation, it came into its own on night operations. Fighters like the P61 never had a chance to prove themselves and were too late in the war. And the British night fighters Beaufighter and the Mosquito (which if they are in a "fighter" role could be considered as such) never had to deal with the massive night interception problems the Germans had.
I agree!
Agree except for the best ground attack fighter, the typhoon should have that laural
Not a bad response. A critical factor is when, where and which version saw combat against what e/a and pilot experience. P-51's were blessed by entering the fray when LW pilot experience was ebbing and by summer of '44 LW pilot experience was a joke. Having said that, the P-51 was the most advanced aerodynamically of any prop fighter.
@@user-yp7oh7jp9z the Tiffy had so many technical issues and killed so many of its pilots that it's best to leave it in the bin. Hawker / Air Ministry scrapped all Tiffy's after the war instead of selling them because they were a liability.
Did anyone notice that whenever someone needs a picture to represent the Bf109 that they always pick one with an E version?
Agreed. I figured the G variant would be more notable.
@@Straswa I was thinking that the F variant was the peak
How could you leave out the Brewster Buffalo??? 😜😆😉
I think that the P-47 should be higher on the list
Surprised not to see the Hawker Tempest and ME 262 on the list.
Only 5 American planes........ you missed out the p40, wildcat, brewster buffalo, aircobra and the p26
Hm, didn't know that FW190 was powered by a soviet Klimov's V12, as it is shown in the video. Not to mention the single engined P-38 that looked like a twin engine plane. Definetely the best channel to "learn" something new.
I would rate the Fiat G55 and the G56 CENTAURO. Used by both , italians and germans since 1943. Procuded in limited number during WW2, this aircraft had larger success , only later. But my favorite ever since it 's F4U. Corsair.
Must be a video produced in America, 5 out of 10 are American, with America taking first place. All other big players get mentioned once, with a bonus for germany for starting the war, so America could built those fantastic aircrafts
Because America is obviously the best.
@@kwtr1609 Yeah bro. With its Jumo engines that needed a complete rebuild after one hour of flight. It sure was
Love from (Jammu) 🇮🇳
Jai hind 🇮🇳
It is not clear to me how is it possible that Focke Wulf would be powered by Klimov engine?
On Focke Wulf FW 190 A9 was instaled BMW 801 radial engine.
And Focke Wulf FW 190 D9 "Long nose" was powered by some variant of Daimler Benz DB 601 engine with cylindres in line.
The Americans,British and Russians may have the best technology when it comes to aircraft but no one can surpass the skills, intelligence, integrity and courage of the GERMAN pilots!🇩🇪❤️🇩🇪
You say Germans pilots were good.
I say German pilots weren't good enough.
Guess who's right

@@mervenchrismaputi2436 No need. Everyone knows who lost the war.
@@friedyzostas9998 yeah because 1 vs 1 is just too unfair, so they need 24 countries and 3 superpower to beat the axis hahaha.

This should be called IM AMERICAN AND I ONLY PUT AMERICAN PLANES ON THIS LIST
Lol, that fact that US had most of the aircraft production means they produced more aircrafts. But then why they have P-51... Cuz early P-51 were as same as late P-51 as Yak-1 and Yak-3. Then Yaks should be in top-3...
Unless you define the criteria for "best", it's a beauty pageant.
Seriously? The Yak-3 made it into your Top Ten Fighters of WWII? Are you drunk?
The Me 262 is missing. It should be the number 1.
I think the dora was the best, when the americans got there hands on abandoned ones after the war, and arranged them so they could use our fuel. It out performed anything we had.

Jets for example were just too late and in in too few numbers for significant impact of the war. By the same criteria the Zero was revolutionary for its prewar period, struck reputational fear in early war years and fought for a longer period which included the China (pre USA) war years than the F-4U which was indeed a MUCH better fighter, just later and with less overall impact considering its late start and initial limited operational use. These The Buzz videos do suck though and I hate myself a little for coming back and rewarding them with more views of a crappy product. lol
@@gibu002 You're right, but the video is called "the 10 best fighter planes" and not the most significant...a longer ranking would have been better: "the best 20" and also included the least numerically present.
@@ronin3018 You're right...but i think it is recognized by all that the Corsair is superior to the Zero.
P-38 at #1? No way... Mosquito excelled in many more roles than the Lightening. Far faster too...
The P-51 Mustang was a poor flyer until they put a British engine in it. With the Merlin, it was a powerful fighter. Plus, it was specifically designed to go beyond earlier models of Spitfire though later marks of Spitfire were far superior in general performance. Some of the last Spitfires were basically pushing the limits of what piston engine aviation could achieve for monoplane fighters, as the jet age blossomed to overshadow all non-jet aviation in general. The Griffon Engine Spitfires were remarkable.
Though obviously jet fighters such as the Gloster Meteor were to go beyond Spitfires and their like, the Spitfire still hands down deserves the reputation as the most iconic fighter of WWII. Each variant has an interesting story and again, the later ones went massively beyond the first few marks of Spitfire in the earlier days of the war. A Mk I Spitfire was far removed from what the last Spitfires and their kin turned out to be.
Also, the Hawker Hurricane did the heavy lifting in the early war period for the British, until the Spitfires and other newer aircraft became more common. In the Battle of Britain the Hurricanes were the workhorses and the Spitfires were the champion thoroughbreds. Both needed each other and plenty of ground support to do as well as they did.
The Spitfire was an amazing plane with garbage armament. 30 cal machine guns were great for shooting down cloth and wood planes of WW1. If the put some real firepower in that plane 50 cal+ the Battle of Britain would have been over in weeks not months!
@@brianosborn3202 While it is true that Spitfire .303 rounds were very small compared to the far more deadly ammunition, including cannon rounds, on German fighters in 1940 specifically (later Spitfires had heavier armaments and some Mk V's were specifically going after trucks, Panzer III's and IV's in North Africa as ground attackers before Typhoons proliferated later in the war, as tank-killers e.g I'm pretty sure some Spitfire variants had twin 20mm cannons for that purpose also making them unpleasant in a dogfight if hit by one), there is kind of an added charm about them taking on and defeating German air wings even though outnumbered and outgunned.
My point was more about the handling and flying performance qualities of Spitfires especially compared to older Hurricanes. No worries. It just shows the RAF Fighter Command in a better light if anything.
@@brianosborn3202 Reliability issues with the 20mm autocannons of that era are the main reasons both 30/303 cal & the 50 cal BMG were used as fighter armament. Those same issues caused the USAF to stay with the 50 cal BMG into the early jet age.
@@Boron121 rELIABILITY mATE BY THE sPITmKv THOSE ISSUES HAD BEEN SORTED. tHE 20 MM CANNON WAS 2.6 TIMES MORE DESTRUCTIVE THAN THE 50 CAL
@@brianosborn3202 yes. BSA couldn't secure a proper lease agreement with the US company for manufacturing it. The cost was prohibitive. Business as usual for the Americans.
Me 262 not mentioned. It could probably take on all of these planes on the list at the same time and still win...
probably yes, but the 262 was a jet fighter therefore of another category
LAI ZHENG YI Moe more of an opinion than anything at this point.
Their criteria: "Significant IMPACT on the war". It didn't have that - Too little, too late.
@LAI ZHENG YI Moe hey genius prop and jet are different
Better to ask which one you would fly in air to air combat! I would fly a radial engined fighter with at least 2000hp, and six 0.5cal guns, so I shortened the list to 3 and that depending on altitude...
Wow, me262 not in the list?!
The Spitfire is the prettiest, wings so elegant.
Nice.
Bruh something futuristic......
THE BUZZ🔥🔥🔥🔥
This video was probably made in an "All-In-One style" 🙂. There are mistakes in it. Of course, there should be a detailed analysis of each type of aircraft. I mean its flight characteristics and combat value. For example, from the beginning of the war so dreaded Japanese Zero had high maneuverability and long range. But its combat value was low, it had no armor and tank covers. It was fragile and flammable. Zero had NO chance in the "hit hard + fly away" fight 💪🤛 👊 "shooting turkeys on the Mariana Islands"😰😭 - (I'm from CZ 🙂🖐)

I'm glad I hit the comments 1st, it saved me 9 minutes.
06:40 Powertrain of FW -190 is Klimov V12? That's bullshit.
If you’ve got the lightning in there, why not the Mosquito?
The mosquito, was the nuts. How many, prisons, submarines, ships, radio factories, disrupted Nazi radio broadcasts. Did the P38 bomb?
The conclusion that the P-38 was the best fighter of WWII completely ignores combat reality. Against obsolete Japanese Zeroes, the P-38 did well. This was not the situation in the more competitive European theater. The key numbers are as follows. The P-38 cost $120,000 per plane. For that price it destroyed 2520 enemy aircraft (European theater) and at a cost of 1758 P-38's, a kill ratio of 1.43. Since its victims were mostly far cheaper single engine fighters, it lost money/resources in the war of attrition. The P-51 cost $50,000 per plane. It destroyed 9081 enemy aircraft (European theater) for the loss of 2520 Mustangs, a kill ratio of 3.60. On a per plane basis, the Mustang was 2.52X better. On a per dollar basis, the Mustang was 6X better. This really matters as long term war is attrition war, and the single engine Mustang made far better use of resources. The Mustang also had greater range and could protect bombers all the way from England to deep into Germany and back, thus losing far less bombers to enemy fighters. Overall, its total combat effectiveness was more than 10X better than the Lightning. Far from being the best fighter of the war, the Lighting was a low effectiveness resource hog that almost cost the United States the air war over Europe. General Jimmy Doolittle saved the air war by insisting on replacing the heavy and expensive P-38 and P-47 with lighter, more maneuverable, longer range, and cheaper P-51's.
If you put the P.38 Lightning at number 1 then you also have to consider the British "Mosquito" day/night fighter and the even more powerful "Tsetsefly" version with its 6lb cannon as well as it's crazy nose mounted machine guns and two Merlin engines, and you didn't even include the Seafury but you did the FW190, they're more or less identical because the Seafury is a British copy of the FW190 with improvements.
The Sea Fury did not enter service until 1947 which is most likely why it was excluded from the list
The Mosquito was a Bomber first, then a multirole aircraft, which included nightfighter actions but not main fighter roles.
On a side note, what an interesting accent with many novel pronunciations. Would be fascinating to know how/where the presenter learned English?
P-47 is way underrated here

Hello The Buzz!
It is wrong that the Focke-Wulf had a Klimov engine. They had a BMW 801 engine.
Some people might say that ranking the P-38 at first is cap. Those people would be wrong. And the ME262 is a great interceptor, it has speed and heavy armament, but it couldn't dogfight with any plane on this list besides the P-38 and it was produced in such limited numbers that it was essentially useless.
P-38 had many flaws preventing it from being useful at high altitude. Some of those issues were resolved by late 1944 in the ETO, but it still had the lowest critical mach speed (.68) for diving at altitude. It worked well at low level and long range over the pacific though.
The p-38 at number 1 spot!? I can't believe it!?
The best was the ME 262.
This list was a such a joke did you do any research at all? LOL 😂
Always Enjoy. Thanks.
Did you just say the P-38 power plaint was one Allison?
Thanks! now i can buy some planes to defend my house! tysm
12.7mm GO BRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTT P-47 FANS LEEZ GO
FW-190 powerplant is not Klimov (Russia), but BMW 801 ,802 or Junkers Jumo 213 ! Sory.
Very superficial. In some cases, types of aircraft are thrown together, in others a specific type is sought out. Very favored by Western allies.
Got this list spot on 👌just a little debate between 2nd and 1st place as spitfire was the best 👍👍👍
What about the first jet fighter of the war? Also the best Soviet fight was not the Yak3, try LA 7
Top 5 Fighters IMHO are :
1) Mustang
2) Spitfire
3) Me 109
4) Fw190
5) Zero
For me it's:
1. Bf 109
2. Fw 190
3. P-51
4. Spitfire
5. Zero
6. Macchi C.202/205
7. Nakajima Ki-84
8. F4U Corsair
9. La5/La7
10. Yak 9/Yak 3
Hello Miss buzz hold my first comment
Soviet Klimov engine on FW190 ???
I wonder where is the Stuka in the scale
I'm sorry but having the Grumann F6F anywhere outside the top 3 is absolute nutjobbery.
Fw-190 with Klimov engine and P-38 one engine? Please look the description. Thanks
By what criteria were the aircraft selected and ranked? Good Greif
all good planes, but theres no way the Zero was a better airplane than the F4U and Yak-3
No mention of the Dehaviland Mosquito.
This is the best list ever
This list is bullsh*t
A better list I found on 1 of a page In google where there are real pilots, engineers and generals perspectives.
Link: www.thetoptens.com/fighter-planes-world-war-ii/
Top 10:
01. Supermarine MKs 24 Spitfire
02. North American P-51D Mustang
03. Messerschmitt Bf 109K
04. Focke-Wulf FW 190 D-9
05. Chance Vought F4U-4 Corsair
06. Messerschmitt Me 262
07. Republic P-47D Thunderbolt
08. Mitsubishi A6M Zero
09. Grumman F6F Hellcat
10. Fiat G.55 Centauro
Mattia Venator.
All the Italian planes rusted on the ground while waiting to take off.
where are you from?
@@federicocorbetta932
Originally!? From my mothers! 😏🙄🤔?
You have the P-38, the Spitfire, and the FW-190 ahead of the P-51? You guys are totally clueless.
Fighter aircraft have multiple roles. Yes, the P-51 was tops in the single long-range fighter escort role. The P-38 is viewed by many as the best "overall" fighter of the WW2 era. Some say the F6F was better than the F4U. But the Corsair was assigned to land-based Marine units flying ground support roles. The Hellcats were on carriers when they engaged enemy planes much more often. It took the British to teach the US Navy & Marines how to land the F4U on a carrier. By that time the war was almost over. My point is "the best fighter" can change depending on how broad or narrow you define the criteria.
The best WWII fighter is Soviet La-7. It was made in my city of Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod).
So the Spitfire came first then :D
P-47 and Corsair merit way higher than #9 and #8.

Hurricane - shot down more enemy aircraft then the rest put together.
The plane that shot down and killed Isoroku Yamamoto, the planner of the Pearl Harbor attack, was the P-38 Lightning!
How do you put P51 at fourth place??
With high speed, long range and great mobility put German airforce in big trouble.
From the time she said the P51 was at number 4 I knew she fucked up. And the zero should have been last because it had no defense and could break while descending. There is no way any of these planes should come before the P51
