I watch to see the Hurricanes and Spitfires in action.But even above them I think the Mustang was the sexiest and best aircraft of WW2.

My dad flew all three in combat. He loved the Spitfire for its beauty and maneuverability, but felt that overall, the Mustang put all other fighters in the shade.

My uncle was a flight instructor down in Arizona during the war and was training young Chinese pilots to fly combat. They moved most of his fellow fliers into a Mustang squadron but kept him back because they said he was too good at teaching the Chinese boys the ropes. He, to this day was broken hearted about it. All his life he wanted to fly a Mustang. Moral of the story: don't get too good at something or you may find yourself doing that one thing forever.
