Was German aircraft better than british aircraft in ww2?
Depends on how you look at it. In the beginning and the end, the German craft outstripped the British, but in the end though, the superiority had almost no effect, because of the sheer numbers of the Allied aircraft. In the Battle of Britain, it was the Spitfire, which was superior to the German Bf 109 in many respects, that saved England. Later the Germans introduced the Fw 190, which again outstripped the English Spitfire, but the Spitfire was improved and matched the Germans. The Bf 109 and Spitfire were both vigourously improved during their life. In the latter two years of the war, the Germans received several jet aircraft, among which was the Me 262. These were far better than the earlier German aircraft and the current British, as they could outrun either, and were a great worry to the fighter escorts for the bombers. If they had been introduced earlier, as they might have been, the tide of war might have been turned in the Axis side's favor earlier.
