As for number two, I'll guess Frankmaru, Frank-san, or Most Honorable Frank. And what kind of a name is "Hamp" anyway? "Hi, my name is Hamp?"

1. The B24, unless you mean "most produced of a WW2 type" in which case it might be the F4U (which ran into the 1950s).

2. Thunderbolt?

3. Ainsworth?

4. A6M/5? Seriously, the IJN did not field a competant sucessor.

5. Ki-61?

Status: offline 		1) don't know, but ME 109 sounds about right.
2) KI-84
3)KIRISHIMA
4)Norman Scott...by 8" shells from USS San Francisco, his old flagship at Cape Esperance
5)an improved variant with more HP, don't no if new name was used
6)KI-44 TOJO

Status: offline 		Here is what I came up with (as others said above). Although I need to go back and read about Callaghan and IL-2 Sturmovik.

1- B-24 (till 1945), if after 1945 and ww2 plane then Corsair(as mdiehl said)
2- Hayate (or Hien) ki-84 (trans- hurricane (or flying swallow))
3- Kirishima
4- Norman Scott (i need to check about Callaghan as well)
5-the answer is debatable (J2M RAIDEN)
6-the answer is debatable(KI-44 hayabusa(peregrine falcon),
codename TOJO.

References: Fighting Aircraft of World War II by Bill Gunston (answers to 1, 5 and 6, but as others have said, no replacement was produced in sufficient numbers)
Fire in the Sky by Eric Bergerund
The Pacific War by John Costello

its been fun!

Status: offline 		Callaghan was also killed at this battle,
Was the J2M a carrier plane?
Tojo yes I reversed them the Tony was a bomber interceptor.

No, it was not(see [url]www.combinedfleet.com[/url]).
So I guess it did not fulfill functions of the a6m.

Status: offline 		Several people brought up other answers that i researched last night. Here are the corrections:

1- Il-2 Sturmovik
2- Delete Hien (this was Ki-61) Swallow, and not a code name for ki-84
4- the question is wrong. Question should have been
"who commanded at cape esperance october 11th battle who has later killed at battle of friday the 13th of november? "
norman scott commanded the naval engagement "battle of cape esperance" he had 4 cruisers and 5 destroyers. (I see that Ron Saueracker got it 100% correct!)

I used 2 additional reference books:
Aircraft of WW2 by Chris Chant
Guadalcanal by Richard Frank (this book is impressive in its detail)
