Kasatel'no samoletov, vmesto slava korpus prinyato govorit' fyuzelyazh ili konstruktsiya. CHto kasaetsya sbitiya Kozhedubom Me-262, to, po sobstvennomu priznaniyu Kozheduba, on s trudom dognal ego i sbil, tol'ko blagodarya nevnimatel'nosti (neosmotritel'nosti) nemetskogo letchika, chto, vprochem, ne umalyaet zaslug Ivana Nikitovicha.
CHto kasaetsya aviaproma, to Germaniya, edinstvennoe iz voyuyushchikh gosudarstv, predpriyatiya kotorogo postoyanno podvergalis' naletam. Krome ehtogo Germaniya imela ogranichennye zapasy prirodnykh i lyudskikh rerursov. No temp vypuska produktsii (ne tol'ko aviatsionnoj), prakticheski do 1945 goda, osobykh sboev ne imel.
SSHA, tak voobshche, byli v shokolade. Lyudej more, rerursov - ne znayu, chem oni byli limitirovany! Estestvenno, v takikh usloviyakh mozhno i vypuskat', i razrabatyvat', i ispytyvat'.
SSSR vse-takibol'shie lyudskie resursy otvlekal na front, v promyshlennosti kvalifitsirovannykh kadrov bylo ne osobo mnogo, chto kompensirovalos' otnositel'noj prostotoj konstruktsii izdelij, k tomu zhe, bol'shinstvo predpriyatij, takzhe byli nedosyagaemy dlya udarov.
Vse-taki nemtsy v plane ogranizitsii i vzaimodejstviya proizvodstv, po moemu, nakhodyatsya na pervom meste!

You are missing an intregal country in the manufacture of aircraft during the war.
Canada built models for Consolidated, North American and Lockheed as well as most of the DeHAVILAND Mosquitos were built in Canada. A lot of the aircraft for Russia were built in Canada and shipped to Halifax and via Atlantic Convoy to Murmansk. Unfortunately Historians tend to ignore the very difficult conditions and human life cost to bring wartime materiel to Russia via the Atlantic Convoys.
In any event, Canada, by the end of the Second World War had a huge aircraft industry as well as a training base for most of the pilots who flew in aircraft of the English Commonwealth of Nations (India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa as well as members of the RAF.
To not include Canada in a survey such as this would be a misjustice and when you have the actual facts, I am sure you will be surprised.
