If the question is asking about the V bombers operated by Great Britain during the Cold War, there were three types; the Valiant, the Victor, and the Vulcan. Sorry, I do not know how many of each were built.
Of the hundreds of designs built; only one was designed specifically to destroy the A6M Zero; the US Navy's F6F Hellcat. Germans used Fokkers the British and Canadians used Sopwith Camels. In the Second World War some famous planes were: British:Spitfire, Hurricane (fighters) Lancaster bombers; German: Messerschmitt and Focke-Wulf fighters; Stuka dive-bombers; Japanese: Zero fighters; American: Flying Fortress and Liberator bombers; P 51 Mustang
7,377 Lancaster bombers were built.

Most WW2 bombers were very well built and robust aircraft. Certainly the ones that carried out major bombings, the Lancaster, Halifax, Fortress, Liberator, and the smaller Marauder, Mosquito, and Beaufort were great aircraft.
No stealth bombers are on order. They already built all the Air Force could afford.
