I'm quite very well aware of the aircraft of WWII, from each combatant nation, not just the USA. Nice chart but it doesn't address the high-speed maneuverability advantage the F6F had over the Type 0
...and I don't care that Chrysler did that. A different US automobile manufacturer- Buick- has already had 'Hellcat' associated with one of their vehicles. Buick also used 'Wildcat' for one of it's cars, and Grumman was
much more associated with GM than Chrysler anyway, Grumman also being the company from which the F6F came...and in addition, GM built FM Wildcats during the war. So, just weak sauce in
stealing the name seven decades later. What else ya got?
