Grumman F6F Hellcat

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". The Hellcat and the Vought F4U Corsair were the primary
USN fighters during the second half of World War II.
