If the US military had a lottery system to fund the restoration of an aircraft to fly, like the British do, what would you pick?

Pick One Navy Aircraft, One Air Force Aircraft and one Army Air-Corp aircraft.
Rules
A) More then one example must exist.
B) That is it, they don’t have to be complete, or the same model and could be a prototype based directly off the airframe.
C) You’d get the money if you submitted the paperwork, no matter the cost.
Edit
One change to the Navy A/C one Post WW2 the other pre/ During WW2
So 4 A/C
