Kawanishi N1K2-Ja Shiden Kai (George) --- the best fighter used in significant numbers by the Japanese Navy during WWII. (8267)

"The N1K2-Ja Shiden Kai (Japanese for "Violet Lightning--Improved") was known by the Allies as the 'George.' ... Unlike the A6M Zero, the Shiden Kai could compete against the best late-war U.S. Navy and U.S. Army Air Forces fighters."
