 | In the Pacific the Hellcat was 19:1 and the Corsair was 11:1. Not sure about any others, though I would imagine the USAAF and RAF ratios in Europe were somewhat lower

| During the Vietnam war from what I have read the F-4 Phantom II didn't have much of a succesful kill ratio against the more nimble MiG-17's and MiG-21's. |

| Highest kill ratio ever ? Try the F-15 Eagle. As for during WW2, I believe maybe the Me-262.

| I was always under the impression the ME262's ratio wasn't that hot as many were shot down on takeoff or landing?

| Fair enough, I stand corrected. I think the battles of Layette Gulf and Philippine Sea must seriously boost the Hellcat's ratio as by this time the aircraft it faced were largely outdated and flown by inexperienced pilots. Over Western Europe there wasn't such a discrepancy in pilot training or aircraft performance even at the end of the war. Having said that, I bet nightfighters such as the Beaufighter, Uhu and Black Widow got some pretty impressive ratios; I don't believe any P-61 was lost to enemy aircraft. Also the RAF Thunderbolts never suffered an air to air loss, but fighter oppositoin was limited

| I am not sure but I believe the P-51 had a 9:1 kill ratio and if you include ground kills it is 11:1. I believe the Bf 109 had a 12:1 against Russian aircraft.

| WW II has got to be the F6F as has been previously stated. 19:1 Me-262? Too small a sampling since only about 250 ever saw combat. How many kills could they have had? TO

| TO roughly 400 kills possibly to the Me 262 units. over 500 alone are accredited to JG 7 but that is too high
