In June 1944, the USA aircraft carrier, Manila Bay (CVE-61), transported 37 P-47 Thunderbolts, from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii to the Mariana Islands. The aircraft were transported by aircraft carrier because it was easier to ship them there, instead of having the planes fly the thousands of miles under their own power. The P-47 (with it's air-cooled engine and 8 .50 caliber M-2 machine guns) was probably better in the fighter/attack role than any USA Navy plane in 1944.

Where can you find information about aviation and airplanes in World War 2?
Airplanes fell into a number of catagories based on their function. Fighters Aircraft that were tasked with destroying the enemies aircraft. Later in the war the widespread addition of bombracks expanded their roles and they became fighter-bombers. Examples P51, P47, Me109, Spitfire... Dive Bombers Very popular before the war they were supposed to provide precision tactical bombing. Later replaced by multi-role aircraft.Examples JU87 and U.S. SBD. Tactical Bombers Early in war their were dedicated light bombers. Later most fighter aircraft were set up to do the job. Although the Germans and Russians both developed highly specialised variants of their dive and level bombers that worked in a tank busting role. Medium Bombers Usually two engined bombers that provided heavy tactical support to front line armies. Examples B25, B26, HE111. Heavy Bombers Usually 4 engine bombers whose main mission was to obliterate the enemies infrastructure. Examples Lancaster, B17, B24, B29. Transport Military cargo and civilian transport planes fell into this category. Recon Small single engine spotter planes and two engined high speed Mosquitoes and P-38's were seme of the planes that fulfilled this mission. Early in the war planes were differentiated by narrow roles, torpedo bombers, dive bombers, level bombers etc... Later in the war multi-role aircraft were developed. The Avenger was an aircraft developed for the US Navy that eventually took over the roles of dive, level and torpedo bombing.

What kind of military aircraft had the 50 caliber machine gun mounted on or in them?
After 1941, it was SOP for all US airplanes to be armed with .50s. The P47 Thunderbolt had eight fifties; four in each wing. Mustangs, Corsairs, Hellcats, Wildcats, B17s, B25s, B29s, all were armed with fifties. Even the Korean War F86 Sabre jet had fifties. By the time of the Vietnam War, the .50 had given way to the 20mm cannon on US aircraft; Except the B52 in Vietnam, the B52 tailgunner had a quad .50. Those two USAF tailgunners were the last bomber "tailgunners' to shoot down enemy aircraft (two NVAF MiG21's) with machine guns in combat.

Were World War 2 fighter planes smaller than modern fighter planes?
You mean were WWII fighters smaller than today's jets; because "modern fighter planes" are jets. Generally yes, today's JETS are much larger than WWII propeller driven airplanes. But there were exceptions, the US WWII P47 Thunderbolt would be much larger than a MiG 17 Vietnam era jet. The largest US single engine JET was the F105 Thunderchief; you could literally walk underneath an F105 jet, while it's parked on the ground.

What was the best plane in World War II?
You will not get an objective answer for this question. The British will say their Spitfire, the Americans will say their Mustang, etc. etc. People that like the fastest planes will choose that one, people that like bombers will choose that airplane. You must choose a "class" or "category" such as the plane with the most aerial kills, or the most produced airplanes, or the largest ever constructed, or the one with the most armor protection, etc. etc. The "Jug" was the largest single engine fighter/bomber to reach service (P47 Thunderbolt), the A6M Zero had the longest range during WWII (nearly 2,000 miles). Those are some samples.
