Red Flag is an advanced aerial combat training exercise hosted by the U.S. Air Force at Nellis AFB Nevada (Las Vegas). At no point did I say or am i saying the Mustang is the BEST. Most Successful? I think a few F4U Corsair guys from the Pacific might differ on that opinion as they enjoyed a 11:1 kill ratio over the Japanese. LOL
Again not an apples to apples comparison, but the ability of the pilots and experience level is a HUGE factor.
Please don't take this wrong, I am just making a friendly discussion, not trying to say any one opinion is wrong at all. This would be great in a bar over a few pints of beer!  |
No Problem i dig that , i like and love this type of sec ww discusions. im sure the pilots of the corsair had one of if not the best kill ratio , but they never fought inline engines messersmits and focker wulf fighters now did they lol..
the japanese zero and mitsubitsie fighters where mainly target practis plains( turkey shoot) compeard to the german engeneering marvels.. they(japenese) where very low on on calliber guns and had NO armer protection at all....... best radial plain must have been the focker wulf with the p47 thunderbold on sec place with the corsair tird, sins he never fought in the same league as the p47. haveing said that the p47 became a straffing fighter when the mustang took his place.....
