Description
Grumman F6F Hellcat. The Grumman F6F Hellcat was a carrier-based fighter aircraft developed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat in United States Navy (USN) service. Although the F6F resembled the Wildcat, it was a completely new design powered by a 2,000 hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800. Some tagged it as the 'Wildcat's big brother'.
First 60 pages are about the development & testing written by the late Corky Myers.
The day to day operational history of were and with what squadron the Hellcat served with.
PUBLISHER'S NOTES: Although not as glamorous as a Corsair, a Phantom, or a Tomcat, I believe the Hellcat was the most important aircraft in Naval history. Without it the Pacific war would have had a very protracted conclusion. I am confident that you will come to the same conclusion after reading this book.
