nm I heard the airforce of the Taliban consisted of ww1 style fighter planes. The Americans destroyed it all on the first day of the war before they even got a chance to take off.
No, the Taliban air force (the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan air force) operated modern types, inherited from the previous regime: 8 MiG-21 fighters, 8 Su-22 fighter bombers, 2 L-39 trainers that could be tasked with CAS, and 11 Mi-8 helis, not including aircraft no longer operational or in storage. I don't know how long they lasted against our fighters, or if they even made it into the air, but if so, I have to give their pilots some credit: they died like brave men, for they had no chance against us, and they must have known this. Some may not even have been capable of nighttime flying.

For the worst air force of all time, I'd have to nominate the air force of the Reorganized National Government of China, a Japanese puppet regime led by a Chinese quisling named Wang Jingwei, a defector from the KMT. His government declared war against the Allies in 1943, but was never quite trusted by the Japanese; the air force received a few gliders and biplane trainers, but plans to supply fighter planes were cancelled, as I understand. The aircrew, like the rest of the puppet state forces, were by all accounts pretty inept, reluctant to fight, and even mutinous; some may have defected to the enemy. Wang Jingwei didn't help his case by claiming to be the lawful leader of the KMT, and retaining the flag and emblems of that regime, which was Japan's deadly enemy. The aircraft of the Wang Jingwei air force were marked with an insigne nearly identical to that of the Chinese Nationalist air force, so there were probably a few friendly fire incidents.
