I beg to differ. While this is an absolutely marvelous bird, of all WWII vintage planes, P51 Mustang is by far the best looking. Everything about it says "fighter", "bird of prey".

*jumps in*

While the P51 was a "Good" looking aircraft, It didn't have the sheer menacing look of a corsair (IMHO)

My vote goes to the Chance Vought F4U Corsair. Otherwise known as "wispering death" by the Japs. I believe it boasts a 10 to 1 kill ratio.
