The Grumman F6F Hellcat was designed from the beginning to take back the skies over the Pacific from the Japanese Zero. Though not as maneuverable as the smaller Zero, the Hellcat's speed and firepower usually won the day.

Successor to the Grumman Wildcat, the F6F Hellcat made history in 1942 when it  decisively whipped the Japanese aircraft carrier based fighters opposing it in the Pacific  during WWII. In addition to its duty as a carrier-based fighter, the Hellcat served  with the U.S. Marine Corps as a potent fighter-bomber.  The DVD Movies and Videos will show the air battles and their history very clearly demonstrating how hard our veterans had to fight for our freedom.

Military History and Aviation Study Notes

The Grumman Hellcat was designed from the beginning to take back the skies over the Pacific from the Japanese Zero. Though not as maneuverable as the smaller Japanese Zero, the Hellcat's speed and firepower usually won the day.

Successor to the Grumman Wildcat, the F6F Hellcat made history in 1942 when it  decisively whipped the Japanese aircraft carrier based fighters opposing it in the Pacific during WW2. In addition to its duty as a aircraft carrier-based fighter, the Hellcat served  with the U.S. Marine Corps as a potent fighter-bomber.

In the summer of 1942, Jim Vernon joined the U.S. Navy's aviation cadet training program and by the spring of 1945 he was flying F6F Hellcats from the USS Ticonderoga off the coast of Japan. This memoir of his years at war provides a carrier pilot's view of the conflict in the Pacific during the final months of the war when the atomic bombs were dropped and Japan capitulated.

James H. "Jimmy" Flatley, who rose to the rank of Vice Admiral after World War II, helped introduce the F6F Hellcat into combat in 1943. the F6F-3 Hellcat, "White 00," that he flew as Commander of Air Group 5 on the USS Yorktown in May of 1943.

On November 19, 1943, Lt. (jg) Hamilton McWhorter III, operating off the USS Essex, downs a Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" bomber to become the first pilot to claim five victories in the Grumman F6F Hellcat.
