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 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 carrier based fighters opposing it in the Pacific during WWII. 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.
