Looks like a N1K2 Shiden-Kai.

There's no doubt it's a George (heck, even the filename says so... Image )

Is it this one?

This is Ens. Muto's George shot down by Lt. Roger Applegate in a F6F-5.

Great article on this George in an old 'After the Battle' magazine around 20 years ago. It has been cleaned up and is on display.
