Ah but you have to consider the different versions of the Supermarine Spitfire MKv the best one has to be the MKVB since it inspired the the universal wing used on the later marks of the Spitfire with four .303 or two .50's and two 20mm cannon.

How about some bombers if we're going to go into multi engine airplanes?  I'm all for the Douglas B-26, especially "Tanker 57" from the movie "Always".   ;D
