The question was: what aircraft has been produced in the greatest numbers? I thought I could get ahold of a copy of Jane's to get the exact figures, but I haven't been able to. These numbers come from several different books. If I get a chance, I will update with better numbers. My guess was wrong, the Consolidated B-24 Liberator. WWII military figures: B-17 12,731 B-24 18,482 Spitfire 20,000+ There seems to be some agreement that around 26-27 thousand Cessna 172s have been built. The winner: Messerschmidt bf-109, all models, in excess of 30,000. Jim Beckman AT&T-ISL, South Plainfield, NJ
