RE: Who's got the best Hellcat
Hellcats shot down 5165 with a kill ratio of 19-1 creating 306 aces. This record not aattained by any other fighter aircraft. Cosairs shot down 2140 with 11-1 kill, wildcat shot down 1006 with 9-1. This is from Flight Journal April 2002
I think they only made one Brester Buffalo and it shot down 26 planes. I could be wrong about that last sentence. When I think about great fighters the Buffalo doesn't pop out.
