the spitfire
Me 262The best plane all round was a mix between the spitfire and the p-51 mustang.the spitfire had the fastest turning and the P-51 had more fire-power,P-51mustang also had a bigger fuel tank. so the P-51 is the best.Another AnswerThere was no 'best' plane of world war two. For example, to say that the 'Spitfire' was the best would be to ignore the fact that it would have been an awful heavy bomber. In the same way, to say that the 'Lancaster' was the best would be to ignore the fact that it would have been an appalling fighter!It would also be difficult to say which was, for example, the 'best fighter' plane, as each of the most famous fighters, e.g. Spitfire, Me 109, Fw 190, Mustang, and Zero, each had some characteristic that made it 'better' in some respect than the others. And each of them was highly successful and subject to continuous development.To name the Me 262 as 'the best' fighter would be to ignore the fact that it had very little effect on the outcome of the war and to ignore the fact that it had unreliable engines. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that it was one of the most innovative aircraft of the war.One area, perhaps, where it would be possible to identify the 'most successful', rather than 'the best' (although it probably was the best), would be photoreconnaissance aircraft as, undoubtedly, the de Havilland 'Mosquito', was without question the most successful.

The Tuskegee Airmen were brought into active combat duty in 1943, the same year as the P-51 was adopted. While the Red Tails were initially equipped with older model planes, by the time they were in active combat, the P-51 Mustang was the premier fighter the USAAF had, replacing almost all other light fighters in active combat.
Approximately 12,000 pounds each. This would be equivalent to about a million pounds each today.
Best heavy bomber: Avro LancasterBest light bomber: de Havilland Mosquito
The Spitfire was better designed and had the best engine.
the spitfire
Every aircraft had it's good points. The Spitfire had excellent maneuverability and accelaration.
It was the best fighter plane available. It was quick, agile & powerful.
That will always depend on your interpretation of better and the country you are from. Also what era.There is no such thing as "the best fighter".WWII - Spitfire - an icon and a superb fighter.WWII - Me-262 - first production jet fighter.
