∙ 7y agoThe Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane are the main famous ones. However there was a huge number of aircraft in service used by the RAF and its naval counterpart, the Fleet Air Arm.
The RAF is the Royal Air Force.

∙ 11y agoThe most famous is the Spitfire, made by Supermarine with a Rolls Royce, hand built engine. But they actually had about twice as many Hurricanes, built by Hawker. Both went through many design variants throughout the war as improvements were incorporated. There was also the Typhoon, but it was not really a true dogfighter, and was used more in a ground attack, fighter-bomber role.
