I picked the Corsair for reasons summarized in a recent thread comparing it with the Mustang. The Hellcat was a fine carrier plane and had the greatest record. But its relatively late entrance and concentration against a decimated IJN air fleet was certainly a factor in setting the 19:1 kill ratio it enjoyed. This selection also has the bonus of assured combat with those delightful folks who attacked Pearl Harbor.
