Dreamtree,
The Red Arrows are the Royal Air Force's crack display team they display with 9 BAE Hawks all dressed in Red White & Blue, they are an awesome team to watch, being very biased I think they are the best in the world.
The Spitfire is to me the most beautiful WW2 aircraft, powered by the sublime Rolls Royce Merlin engine, the MK IX to me is the very best.
The best WW2 US Warbird to me is the North American Mustang, especially the P-51D as that was powered by the Merlin too....
I will stop there as I can burble on for ever about warbirds they are living history that needs to kept alive....
