These are some of the most recognizable US WWII Aircraft designators:

B- designator used for bombers such as the B-17 "Flying Fortress"

C- designator used for transport aircraft such as the C-47 "Sky Train"

P- Pursuit (designator used for WWII era fighters, usually Army Air Corps) such as the P-51 "Mustang"

F- Designator used for US naval fighter aircraft such as the F6F "Hellcat" (later also adopted by Army Air Corp and still used by the US Navy, Marines and Air Force)

T- trainer such as the T-6 "Texan"

Some other countries used abbreviations of the manufacturer's name in their Designators like Germany:

ME-109, where "ME" is short for Messerschmitt. This same plane was also known as a BF-109 where "BF" stands for Bayerische Flugzeugwerke, as both companies had a contract to produce it.

HE as in "HE 111" was short for Heinkle. Also seen as "Heinkle He 111"

DO as in "DO 355" was short for Dornier. Also Seen as "Dornier Do 355"

FW as in FW-190 Was short for Focke Wulf

Since there are so many other planes and countries involved in WWII, this answer could go on forever. However, because this question was placed under "Military aircraft, SR-71 Blackbird" the WWII part of the question didn't really fit, so i will answer what the "SR" stands for: Surveillance and Reconnaissance.
