We appear to have strayed off topic, lets get back please 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's hard to call on this one then, it could be the zero because it was one of the most feared planes of the war in the early years, one of the best dogfighters and the mainsty of the jap's air force?? could it be the wildcat for having the best kill ratio of the war?? could it be the hellcat for finally tipping the scales against the japs?? or could it be the corsair just, well for being the corsair!!! it's hard to call it.............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Did the Wildcat really have the highest kill ratio? What was it?

 

[lesofprimus]

I have never heard before of the Wildcat having the highest kill ratio...

 

[cheddar cheese]

Me neither, I thought it was the Brewster B-239...

[Capt. Scott Tailwheel]

Back to the topic, Supermarine Seafire, Hee,hee.

 

[cheddar cheese]

I like the seafire 8)

 

[Capt. Scott Tailwheel]

The Seafire is cool, we have one in our Naval Museum. It was in service till sometime around the fifities I think.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Yeah, it served the RCN until mid 1954. They last operated from the deck of HMCS Magnificent.

Btw, I didn't know there was a naval museum in Calgary.
Seems like an odd place to find one.
