List of aircraft of World War II

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The List of aircraft of World War II includes all aircraft and aerial vehicles used by the combatants of World War II. It is also appropriate to list aircraft and vehicles developed but not operationally used in the war, as well as certain rockets and missiles. In parentheses is listed the date in service followed by the developing nation and major wartime users.

[edit] Experimental aircraft

Experimental aircraft are those that never saw operational service or were never intended to do so. They may be aircraft purely designed to test and develop new theories and research on aviation, or may be intended as prototypes of combat or other types of aircraft. Ultimately, if the aircraft was deployed to regular squadrons or used in more than the rarest of operational missions by other units, it should be listed above under its appropriate type. Some types which did not reach flight status may also be listed here.
