Hellcat Fighter
Which was the better fighter of WW2, the F-6 Hellcat or the P-51 Mustang?
I know that the F-6 was dubbed as the zero killer, but if memory serves me correctly, the P-51 had a brilliant record for the European theater. How do the planes compare against one another?
I believe the Mustang was around before the F-6, the F-6 had the benefit of more engineering.
That being said, the Mustang packed a punch, 4 50 mm machine guns mounted on the wings. It was great at both air combat and ground support. I would say all around the Mustang was the better plane, but the F-6 was the better dogfighter.
I would kill to fly either one.
