Case for the Grumman F6F Hellcat being the greatest fighter of the 2nd World War

If this article was interesting for you, I&#x27;d suggest Greg&#x27;s Airplances and Automobiles youtube channel.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;channel&#x2F;UCynGrIaI5vsJQgHJAIp9oSg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;channel&#x2F;UCynGrIaI5vsJQgHJAIp9oSg</a><p>Rabbit Hole warning: The channel features discussions on many different aspects of plane design and performance, but focuses heavily on primary sources. You will learn a lot about what NACA was doing at the time. I&#x27;m not really a plane person, but this channel was fascinating.

I wonder whether the F4U&#x27;s ratio was lowered by continued manufacture after the war. But the article is correct that the F6F was much better at landing on carrier decks that the adapted Spitfire.
