My 2 fav WW2 aircraft are the Vought F4AU Corsair and the P51D with the P38 Lightening a close 3rd. The P38 has is the spiritual ancestor of the F15 and therefore deserves a very special place for me.

Both my Uncles flew P47s in the pacific. Right Col. Glen went on to fly B47s and B52s. Col. John retired after the war.
Edit: Uncle John flew photo recon over Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped
