Yes, A topic I know! The BF-109, which you were talking about right?and the Messerschmidt ME 262 were both amazing except for landings regarding the ME 262 (That's how most of them were lost) The F4U Corsair was cool cause it was carrier-born. Also the reason for those funny-ass wings is because it had a 16ft (dia.) Propeller! So for landing clearance it needed to gain some height in the legs. These planes were awesome, the sound amazing (Most are V12's producing in excess of 1400HP!) and they fly pretty well too. I Still think one of the coolest ones was the Focke Wolfe FW190 'Long Nose" it had an 18 cylinder engine and was quite the feared beast! For anyone who cares at this point, the most common German PLane you see in war Movies is either a BF-109 (Essentially a German Spitfire) and the Ju-42 or Ju-88 "Stuka" that's the crazy dive bomber in enemy at the Gates.

See what a childhood around aviation gives you? (Sorry for any Run-ons or 100% Grammatically Wrong Sentences)
