Ok, enough time has gone by and this poll seems to have never caught on much...
So I will simply post the answer wtihout further delay...
And the answer is...
Willie the Whale! 
The F3D Skynight of course! This is the only bird in the entire list that has never been shot down in air to air combat, while at the same time making multiple kills over North Korea during the Korean War..
| Quote: | | The few F3D-1 aircraft were used primarily to train F3D crews and did not see combat. F3D-2 aircraft, however, saw extensive service during the Korean War and destroyed more enemy aircraft in Korea than any other Navy or Marine fighter aircraft[3]. They were used as escort fighters, accompanying B-29 Superfortress bombers on night raids. They also flew nighttime intercept and interdiction missions. By the end of the war, Skyknights had shot down six enemy aircraft (one Polikarpov Po-2 and five Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15) without a loss. The first air-to-air victory occurred on 3 November 1952 in a United States Marine Corps F3D-2 piloted by Major William T. Stratton, Jr. and radar operator Master Sergeant Hans C. Hoglind of VMF(N)-513. |
