In all honesty the Corsair was rather homely too...

I'll add on one other question for you military aviation buffs. The Army Air Corps flew the P-51 in the Pacific Theater and it did as well against the Japanese as it did in Europe. Did F4U's of the U.S. Navy or Royal Navy ever engage if air combat with the Luftwaffe fighters? I've never been able to find a reference on that.
