Many people here seems to assume, that designations for fighters in WC univers show how old they ar (lower designation number=older fighter)
Seeing many common things in confed millitary to US military, I think that the designations used by the fighters do not indicate that they entered service in thesimilar order . As long as US ffighters are concerned F-22 is much newer than F-104, and B-2 is newer than B-52 ...
also there seems to be no continuity - B-52 replaced B-36, witch replaced B-29... and there was no B-50 or B-51 and many other, as far as i know
What do you think about this?
