Yep, but the Me109 was 50mph faster than the fastest French aircraft, and the Me110 was just as fast as the fastest. No one had anything comparable to the Ju87 Stuka in any number, and nothing like the Ju52 transport plane that was to play such an important part.
One of the most important contributions to WW2 by the USA was the unsung heroes flying vast amounts of DC-3 'biscuit bombers' that did so much for the war effort. These planes simply made victory possible.
As you said earlier, victory in WW2 is an aggregate of many, many contributors.
