This is the most comprehensive list I have seen from Kyle Williams and Dan Alex and the Department of Defense. These are the British air crafts only. The Dept. of Defense supplied them with lists of aircraft and weapons from other countries too.

The 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.
The 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.
The most famous one is Supermarine Spitfire.
The Spitfire and the hurricane and thetphoon were all RAF fighters used in wwii
Even if you exclude the smaller aircraft carriers in World War 2, there were still many more than 5 or 6. The US Navy commissioned 23 aircraft carriers of the Essex class during the war, not to mention others in US service, and those used by the British and Japanese navies.
Yes, there are various sources and databases that document British World War 2 aerial combat victories categorized by make and model of aircraft. One such source is the Air Ministry's Combat Reports, which provide detailed records of aerial victories by British pilots. Additionally, aviation historians and enthusiasts have compiled databases and published books that categorize these victories by aircraft types.
If you mean during World War 2, the most famous fighter aircraft were the Spitfire and Hurricane and the most famous bombers were the Lancaster and Wellington.
Some flew some by ship as cargo or on aircraft carriers
The aircraft carrier was a major support in world war 2. Take the battle of Midway for example, almost the WHOLE battle was the carriers launching their aircraft at one another. also, Aircraft carriers made the bombing of japan possible in the middle of the war. (Doolittle raid). They were pretty much the key to winning the war.
Spitfire and Hurricane fighters
Spitfire, Hurricane, Mosquito, Lancaster, Wellington, Blenheim, Swordfish.
The aircraft photos and the types of weapons used were how the B-24 bombers were identified in the World War II.
There were literally dozens of British aircraft, however the most famous of those were the Spitfire & Hurricane fighters. The Lancaster, Manchester and Wellington bombers. There are plenty of websites that will list the aircraft. The British also used aircraft made in other countries, primarily from the USA. Also many other allied nations (including the USA) used British aircraft during the war. The British name for an American airplane was different than the name used by Americans.
Even if you exclude the smaller aircraft carriers in World War 2, there were still many more than 5 or 6. The US Navy commissioned 23 aircraft carriers of the Essex class during the war, not to mention others in US service, and those used by the British and Japanese navies.
world war one aircraft were simply built to carry out their missions while aircraft of the golden age were built for comfort.
Primarily fixed-wing metal constructed engine powered flying machines. Basically of 3 types: Bombers/Land Based/Aircraft Carrier Launched.
Yes, kind of. HMS Tracker (D24) was an escort aircraft carrier of the American "Bogue" class. She served in the Royal Navy from 1943 to 1945.
Hmmm seven types of warship perhaps .... Submarine, Corvette, Destroyer, Cruiser, Battle Cruiser, Battleship, Aircraft Carrier
