Recounts the development of America's first fighter plane, a carrier-based aircraft designed to compete with the Japanese Zero, and describes the Hellcat's combat performance.
The development followed by operational introduction then operational history. The Hellcat’s troublefree introduction to combat, and growing confidence of pilots in these examples of Grumman's 'Ironworks'. The Hellcat was the ideal mount for our Naval aviators: tough, able to dog-fight Japanese fighters, well armed, versatile enough to carry rockets, bombs, fuel tanks, or a combination. Just the thing to strafe airfields then defend the fleet against Kamikazes. They got many wounded back to their carrier, and survive serious deck accidents.
