Dogfights: The Zero Killer Part 1

The Grumman F6F Hellcat was a carrier-based fighter aircraft developed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat in United States Navy service. Although the F6F bore a family resemblance to 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".[2] The Hellcat and the Vought F4U Corsair were the primary USN fighters during the second half of World War II.

The Hellcat proved to be the most successful aircraft in naval history, destroying 5,271 aircraft[3] while in service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps (5,163 in the Pacific and eight more during the invasion of Southern France, plus 52 with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during World War II.)[4] Postwar, the Hellcat aircraft was systematically phased out of front line service, but remained in service as late as 1954 as a night-fighter in composite squadrons.

Wildcat=Zeros Bitch.

@miffymichael8 At the start of the war maybe. The Zero was a death trap. The F6F was not only a steadier aircraft but also had more power. The only advantage the Z had was in turns. I'd take a Spit over the Z.

f is the 6th letter in the alphabet so the f6f is really 666

The F6F is the F-14 Tomcat's grandfather.

@CheckMySix Still British series NEVER even think about making an American movie.

[CheckMySix]

@flowingwolfpack This is a Series Called "Dogfight" its sopposed to be a General overview of some of the Greatest Air combat Missions in history and Yet no mention of the Battle of Britain,not Paranoia Its NOT about British or American its just about a Historical fact that has been omited from this Series.

And if you watched British or European Documetaries as I do you will see that they cover ALL aspects of History in an impartial way. But as I said I still love this Series.
