I didn't want to go into the jet era, the ME-262 was not only amazing, but the bar to measure every jet until early 70s. Probably the most copied airplane ever. Furthermore, the Arado 555 and 581 brought concepts that the latest generations of planes are using, only that 40-50 years earlier. Those Germans really did know how to build stuff.

They also had some funny looking jets!
