Fightertown Design Group Ver. 2
F6F-5 VF-12
One of the best carrier-based fighters of World War 2 was the Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat. A larger and more powerful development of the earlier F4F Wildcat, the Hellcat was designed to counter the Japanese Zero fighter. The Hellcat's design sacrificed speed for a high rate of climb and exceptional maneuverability. It was also a very rugged and well armored design. The Hellcat F6F-3 was first deployed in the Pacific in August 1943 where it, and the later version, the F6F-5, participated in every major engagement of the war. A total of 12,275 were built.
