Ok, my last request was a major flop so maybe you guys can help me with this one. I was wondering about 'kill' totals for different fighter planes in WWII (and it should make for some interesting discussions about fighter effectiveness). I would really like to see numbers on the American fighters but numbers on any major fighter would be appreciated. Thanks.

Finnish Bf 109Gs had quite a good kill ratio too :

Bf 109Gs shot down total of 663 enemy aircraft while losing 32 fighters in combat or to anti-aircraft fire.

That makes a kill ratio of 21:1

Yes, and last night (or at least the show was broadcasted in Finland last night) Conan apologized all finns (because he got A LOT of postcards from Finland) and that was part of the apology.

Now all Swedish people can send hatemail to Conan. 8)

But... back to business. Which is FAF and their victory ratios of course

Fokker D.XXI - 191 victories, 16 losses - 12:1
Fiat G.50 - 101 victories, 5 losses - 20:1
Morane-Saulnier M.S. 406 - 135 victories, 18 losses - 7.5:1
Curtiss Hawk 75 A - 190 victories, 15 losses - 12:1

And that seems to cover the most important finnish fighters.
