A provocative article but interesting - was it the best? Maybe not - surely it could have a claim the being one of the most versatile?

I'll go for the P51 Mustang or the Spitfire, although the Hawker Hurricane actually shot down more planes in "The battle of Britain".

to be fair I'd always go for the P51 (even above the Spit). WRT the Hurricane, would it be fair to say that it shot down more planes because there were simply more of them?
