Im going with the Junkers Ju 87 also knows as the Stuka dive bomber. It had precise accurate bombing and it would dive down and aim the bombs in the dive then pull up and the bombs would hit the target dead-on.

I may post the unknown but remarkable Macchi MC.205V "Veltro" (Italian for Greyhund)

This small and light fighter performed pretty well aginst Spitfires or Hurricanes ... only problem was that very few were built to have any significant effect on the war, and light armament ...
