The F6F Hellcat was basically designed as the Zero Killer It could fly about an average 55 mph faster than the Zero and it was heavier and more powerful than the Zero. The Hellcat also had the highest kill ratio of any American fighter plane during WWII (19 to1). US Navy pilots referred the Hellcat as the "Aluminium Tank". The Hellcat could carry two 1,000-pound bombs with its most destructive weapons being six 5-inch HVAR's (High Velocity Aircraft Rockets). It could also carry a torpedo under the fuselage but this was never seen in combat. When it was all over the F6F was one of the most feared and successful planes in WWII.Lt William E Henry, flew the F6F-5N, was one of the two aces in the VF (N)-41 who had achieved 9.5 kills. The F6F-5N was equipped with the AN/APS-6 radar designed for night missions but relatively few kills were achieved during the night. CVLG (N) - 41 was the first dedicated night air group in the US Navy which was deployed in the carrier Independence in August 1944 | |
