List of aircraft of World War II: Difference between revisions

The '''list of aircraft of World War II''' includes all the aircraft used by those countries which were at war during [[World War ]] from the period between their joining the conflict and the conflict ending for them. Aircraft developed but not used operationally in the war are in the [[#Prototypes|prototypes section]] at the end. Prototypes for aircraft that entered service under a different design number are ignored in favour of the service version. The date the aircraft entered service{{snd}}or was first flown if the service date is unknown or it did not enter service{{snd}}follows the name, followed by the country of origin and major wartime users. Aircraft used for multiple roles are generally only listed under their primary role unless specialized versions were built for other roles in significant numbers. Aircraft used by neutral countries such as [[Spain]], [[Switzerland]] and [[Sweden]] (or countries which did no significant fighting such as most of those in South America) are not included.
