Vought F4U Corsairs in action in the Pacific. The Corsair became the most capable carrier-based fighter-bomber of World War II. Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II, and the U.S. Navy counted an 11:1 kill ratio with the F4U Corsair.
The Grumman F6F Hellcat was a carrier based fighter aircraft built to replace the older outdated F4F Wildcats. The Hellcat was the first USN fighter for which the design took into account lessons from combat with the Japanese Zero. The Hellcat proved to be the most successful aircraft in naval history, destroying 5,271 aircraft while in service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Many of these scenes are from the movie, Flying Leathernecks.
