| Everything about the U.S. Navy Wars and conflicts of the U.S. Navy
This is the official U.S. Navy site, with all sorts of goodies about every war it's been involved in. The two articles I looked over were the Naval Aviation Combat Statistics, World War II which has the official figures for all aircraft involved, and Naval Aviation in the Pacific which is a good summary of everything that happened. Great resource as well as a solid read. Enjoy!

The rockets didn't hit him but but they must have scared the bejesus out of him, for he did a steep turn to starboard... I let him have the full blast, all eight fifty-calibers. I had never seen an aircraft completely disintegrate in the air the way this Me-110 did..."
