ゼロ戦への対抗策を考案したジョン・サッチ氏はゼロ戦と戦って生きて帰れたのは奇跡だというほど
F4Fは劣っていたとレポートしてるわけだがw
It is indeed surprising that any of our pilots returned alive. Any success our fighter pilots may have had against the Japanese Zero fighter is not due to the performance of the airplane we fly but is the result of the comparatively poor marksmanship of the Japanese, stupid mistakes made by a few of their pilots and superior marksmanship and team work of some of our pilots. The F4F airplane is pitifully inferior in climb, maneuverability and speed.
