Top 10 Fighters of All Time
Our picks of the best based on historical performance - not potential.
by Staff Writer

"Finally a Top Ten Fighter plane list I can live with!" - Tony via email

The following is a MilitaryFactory.com study of the best military fighter designs of all time. Fighters were chosen based on production numbers, wartime performance and a general assessment of their effect during that portion of history. As such, our list contains aircraft mainly from World War 2, though examples stemming from World War I, Korean War and the Vietnam Conflict are present.

This list is by no means comprehensive but it does shine some light into the idea of what makes a potent fighter aircraft, particularly when forced through the rigors of combat. A fighter must provided maximum protection for crew, fuel and critical systems alike, present capabilities unmatched on the battlefield and provide the pilot with the means to accomplish air supremacy over his adversary. We believe the following exhibit of aircraft represent all of these facets and then some.

The listing is provided as a countdown starting from 10 and eventually presenting our selection for Best Fighter of All Time. Enjoy!
