Thanks John . The map is useful for spotting the different Orbx airports around London. Yes sir, I have a checklist to action before I leave the Hellcat! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Calum Many thanks Calum . The Hellcat was designed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat and counter the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M “Zero”. The Grumman F6F became the United States Navy’s dominant fighter in the second half of World War II. Hellcats were credited with destroying a total of 5,223 enemy aircraft while in service with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm (FAA) – more than any other Allied naval aircraft. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I guess that it was the dominant fighter in the Pacific for the second half of the war. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
