Best European theatre fighter poll

[CountryBoy]

I don't look at the Blitz frontpage very often, but I just noticed the poll from a while back regarding the 'best European fighter'.

I have to say, although I am no aviation expert and of course it is all a matter of opinion, I was very surprised to see the poll results.

I thought that the Spitfire was acknowledged to be better than the FW190. Also, although I don't know much about it, is the P-51 really the best fighter? I'd be interested in hearing why (is it because it was just a more modern plane?)

Cheers
