Israel has one of the best air forces around because of their ability to adapt to different situations (also they train in the mountains so when they mess up they lose an aircraft)

Actually its 18 to Nil.SHERMAN said:18 planes to one ship was an accaptable casualty rate in WWII...
The first time this specialized suicide plane was succesfully used was April 1st 1945, when 3 MXY-7 were realesed over a US naval force near Okinawa. The Battleship West-Virginia was damaged...11 days later, on the 12 of April, the Baka sunk it's first ship. It was the USS Mannert L. Abele
Some of the worst desighns-
WWII
Messershmitt Me163 Komet- The fist and only operational Rocket-Fighter. The rocket engine used a mixture of highly reactive chimiacls causing many fires and explosions. Thje Aircraft had no landing gear and had a special cart to take of from....the shock of landing with no gear(like a glider) somtimes caused the remaining chimicals to ignite. 370 Komets were built, but they managed to shoot down only about 10 allied aircraft.
