Owing to the fact that "Best" is difficult to quantify, what is your "Favorite" aircraft of WWII? Just pick one' and only one.
For me, the Mossie. Its specification was not formulated by a dithering ministry, but was a statement of technology, engineering, craftsmanship and art. It was good at many things, and great at more things. The only ministerial concession was the windscreen and control stick on the FB. It never got a turret.
