Today marks 80 years since the end of the Second World War. While victory for the Allies came at a terrible cost, WWII also helped advance aviation technology. The US produced several remarkable aircraft to respond to the needs of multiple battlefronts.

From the F4U Corsair, which shot down 97 enemy planes in the South Pacific, to the P-47 Thunderbolt, which helped American aces strike fear in the hearts of their enemies in Europe and the Pacific alike. Of course, the P-51 Mustangs earned a reputation as the finest long-range WW2 US fighter planes and escorted the B-29 Superfortress bombers that finally ended the war.

It’s hard to pick a favorite, though I lean towards the Grumman F6F Hellcat, which bested the Japanese A6M Zero and established US air dominance in the Pacific theater.
