The Grumman F6F Hellcat formed the backbone of Americas
carrier-based fighter force as the Allies pressed the war toward
Japan. Powered by a massive and reliable Pratt & Whitney radial
engine, the Hellcat racked up an incredible 19:1 kill ratio against
its foes in WWII, and 305 aviators earned ace status while flying
the Hellcat. Such famed US naval aces as David McCampbell, Cecil
Harris, Eugene Valencia, and Alex Vraciu all flew the Hellcat. In
addition to its wing-mounted .50-caliber machine guns, the F6F was
equipped to carry bombs as well, allowing pilots to deliver up to
2,000 pounds of bombs on targets. By the time that Hellcat
production ended in November 1945, 12,275 examples had rolled off
Grummans Bethpage, Long Island, assembly line. Through carefully
researched photos, many never before published, the history and
details of this iconic aircraft are revealed. Part of the Legends
of Warfare series.
