I looked at the list a bit more and came up with the top ten fighters of all time. Fighters seem to be the glamour aircraft of the military -- witness movies like "Top Gun" -- so what were the top ten?
1) German Bf 109 34,852
2) British Spitfire 22,685
3) German Fw 190 20,051
4) Soviet bloc MiG-15 18,000+ (#1 jet fighter)
5) Soviet Yak-9 16,769
6) U.S. P-47 15,660
7) U.S. P-51 15,586
8) British Hurricane 14,487
9) Soviet MiG-21 13,996 (China produced modified MiG-21s as the F-7 long after production ceased in the USSR; I think this number is a bit doubtful.)
10) U.S. P-40 13,738
