The Supermarine Spitfire
The Royal Air Force is the primary user of the Supermarine Spitfire. It was the only British aircraft constructed throughout WWII that did not go out of production after the war ended. During the Battle of Britain, it played an important part in combating the German air force. In the European, Pacific, and Mediterranean theaters of combat, it was also the premier fighter plane. Among aviation aficionados, it is still one of the most admired and beloved planes.

The Hughes H-4 Hercules
On the ground, there are monster trucks, but what about in the air? This raises the threshold for so-called monster planes in the aerospace industry. During WWII, the Hughes H-4 Hercules was designed for transatlantic missions. However, it was not completed in time to complete the task at hand. It only took one short trip, but it is still the world’s largest flying boat. It also has the largest wingspan of any plane ever built.
