What. no P38 Lightning? What an omission!

I scored about 25 OK. I am 84, from Uruguay, and I saw some of these aircraft in actual flight: P-51, F6F Hellcat, B-25, C-47, all bought for our Air Force or Navy in the U.S. after WW2.

Great quiz, I realised I'd forgotten as many as i remembered. Eek. There are some really nice random planes there too. Brilliant learning tool. 👏

[SharkHustler]

I got at least 27 of these correct, so I'd guess I'm of the 'true aviator' category[!] ... Perhaps through better profiling of some of the images (notably of № 19, the Do 217; as well as № 30, Pe-3bis [among a few others]), I would've only really erred on № 23, the Ki-32 – a warplane I never even knew existed. I'm sure I'll be dreading the challenge of labeling the various Italian and French warplane types in the other WWII quizzes of this ilk ...

Time for my War Thunder knowledge to come out

The Ki-32 is pretty obscure. It was pulled from combat the same month Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

[agiliteka]

Well put together quiz, I enjoyed the challenge of some of the bombers.
I got 21:

Fighter: 8
Bomber: 6
Other: 7

Excellent quiz. Thanks for posting "

Got 25...some of those obscure axis ones are tough

[sergioleone]

Full credit for throwing in a few that I didn't catch, usually these WWII aircraft trivia quizes are pretty easy.

[stephenhannell]

27 but number 10 is a fighter bomber, a tough aircraft that the Germans hated.

[KrisThijs-bz]

I had 27 right according to you. But the Yak 9 is a Yak 3, Pe-3 I thought was the Pe2 (older version of pe3).
So actually only the ki-23 I didn't know

[drivernjax]

I got 24. I'm afraid that I only knew one of the Soviet a/c that was the Il-2.

[stephenburchett]

25, struggled with the Russian kit and a few obscure axis planes.

[icesnowflake]

I only got three wrong, and they weren't far off. I misidentified the Yak-9 as a Yak-3. the Pe-3bis as a Pe-2, and I couldn't remember what the "ki" number was on the Ki-32.

[CPL_Prince]

the IL2M is a strike aircraft not a fighter you could have swapped it with the beaufighter which is also a heavy fighter/strike aircraft

[thomrobitaille]

28 out of 30 This quiz was missing some iconic planes though.

[billwebb]

The I’ll 2 was not a fighter, it was a ground attack aircraft!

[TheSlimbee]

Got 17 right including model numbers some I did not get for being too slow.

[bobwright]

The color scheme of the B-24 fooled me. Thought it was a Navy PB.
