  Hellcat, 13 to 1 kill ratio... the only Japs that had any chance of scoring against the Hellcats were the veteran pilots, the rest were meatballs.

  Favourite? If in terms of aesthetics, it would be the Hellcat (hmmm...seems to be a common theme). But many more would be in contention:
  
  - DH Mosquito
  - Heinkel 111
  - Mitsubishi Ki-46-II/III Dinah
  - Douglas A-20 Havoc
  - Mitsubishi Zero
  - Aichi D3A Val
  - Hawker Hurricane IID (with the twin 40mm cannons)
  - Kawasaki Ki-45 Nick
  - Grumman F4F Wildat
  - Douglas C-47 Skytrain

  well I must say that in my opinion the best fighter of WW2 was the North American P51D Mustang..........!! without it the bomber offensive against Germany and Japan could never be done without a manageable attrition rate. The range and the power was superb!
  Then again........I always had a soft spot for the Grumman Dauntless Divebomber coz of Midway.......4 carriers in 1 afternoon.....that is what i call a track record!
