I think poling on this site for the top four airplanes may still fall into that insular category. I would rather take a broad survey from multiple experts discussing most famous, iconic, and/or "best" airplanes of the WWII era and coming up with a list of 10-20 and then look at what has not been produced. Not at all a comprehensive list but two examples of what I am talking about
:
Top 10 Best Aircraft
The Most Iconic World War 2 Planes
Again, not comprehensive, but here are some top 10's common to both lists that have not been produced yet:
Messerschmitt Me 262
Vought F4U Corsair
I wonder what will come up when searching the Smithsonian?

Cross references all the above, but still limited, searches interestingly seems to include similar aircraft that Ares has done a great job providing, and notably one not produced by Ares, on each list... Again, too early to call trending, but at least shows that some of us are not merely black sheep bleating, "Baa, baa, baa..."
