Country:  | it's hard to call on this one then, it could be the zero because it was one of the most feared planes of the war in the early years, one of the best dogfighters and the mainsty of the jap's air force?? could it be the wildcat for having the best kill ratio of the war?? could it be the hellcat for finally tipping the scales against the japs?? or could it be the corsair just, well for being the corsair!!! it's hard to call it.............

Country:  | Yeah, it served the RCN until mid 1954. They last operated from the deck of HMCS Magnificent. 
Btw, I didn't know there was a naval museum in Calgary.
Seems like an odd place to find one.  | |
