Your own WWII Fighter? Which one?
Which American fighter would you have most liked to have flown during WWII.
I chose the F6F Hellcat because of its outstanding record and, especially, the survivability rate. The following is from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F6F_Hellcat Navy and Marine F6Fs flew 66,530 combat sorties (45% of all fighter sorties of the war, 62,386 sorties were flown from aircraft carriers[12]) and destroyed 5,163 enemy aircraft (56% of all Naval/Marine air victories of the war) at a cost of 270 Hellcats (an overall kill-to-loss ratio of 19:1).[13]
