I vote for the Thunderbolt. Kill ratios were much more favorable in WWII than in Nam.

The more I think about it the more I want to say that ONE of those planes listed had ZERO losses in air-to-air combat!
It was a right place-right time kinda thing.

I like statements such as this! Smile

I liked the last poll, because I knew the answer! Smile Smile

A lot of Corsairs were lost like Pappy Boyington's.

It had to be a Navy aircraft. The Crusader had a good kill ratio I had once read, but I think it was the Skynight.

The Skynight could be the ringer. Smile Just a guess.

Regards,
Pappy
