This guide traces the history of the US Navy’s premier WWII fighter plane with archival photos, tech specs and illustrations. F6F Hellcat at War follows the story of this iconic aircraft from its early development to its distinguished combat career in the Pacific. While the F6F was not the fastest or most maneuverable fighter, aviators loved their trusty Hellcats because they were incredibly tough, marvelously powerful, and easy to fly. In the last two years of war, the Hellcat dominated the skies over the Pacific, stopping Japan’s once-vaunted A6M Zero and tallying a victory-to-loss ratio of over 19 to 1. Through compelling accounts, never-before-seen photographs, and detailed drawings, F6F Hellcat at War tells the story of one of the war’s most successful yet underappreciated fighter aircraft.

F6F Hellcat in Detail & Scale is the tenth volume of the expanded Detail & Scale Series of military aviation and modeling books. The Grumman Hellcat is one of the most famous fighters in the history of military aviation. This new book covers every aspect of this significant aircraft, from its developmental history through its use as the first type flown by the iconic U. S. Navy aerial demonstration team, the Blue Angels. Hellcats utilized as drones and drone controllers are covered, as is its service with foreign nations. Detail & Scale previously published volumes on the Hellcat in 1987 and 1996. The original work in 1987 was improved nine years later with greater coverage of aircraft details than was previously possible. Now, in this expanded volume, even more detailed coverage is provided. F6F Hellcat in Detail & Scale is a detailed study of one of the most successful fighter aircraft designs to see combat during the Second World War. Historical text has been written for each variant of the Hellcat. The Hellcat Details chapter has been greatly expanded using new color photos almost exclusively. Additionally, many new vintage color and black and white photos have been added to better tell the Hellcat’s story. But one feature, the fascinating and informative interview with Captain David McCampbell, remains in this new edition. Finally, the Modelers Section has been updated to include reviews of all of the kits that are available as of this writing (March 2020). The book begins with a comprehensive developmental and operational history of the Hellcat and follows that with an all-inclusive chapter on the various Hellcat variants. Every variant of the Hellcat is covered, including the XF6F-1/-2/-4/-6 prototypes and the F6F-3/-3E/-3N and F6F-5/-5E/-5N operational variants. These are followed up with sections on the use of the Hellcat as the aircraft of choice used in the very first and early exhibitions put on by what would become the U. S. Navy Blue Angels precision flight demonstration team. The use of the Hellcat in the drone and drone controller roles, both in combat and in peace time is covered next, as is a survey of its use in foreign service by the United Kingdom, France, and Uruguay. Next, is a reprise of a favorite element of the earlier versions of this book, the interview with David McCampbell, the Navy’s all-time leading ace, where he discussed the Hellcat, his own experiences, and the markings of his personal aircraft. A comprehensive chapter on Hellcat details, long the hallmark of the Detail & Scale brand, follows. This chapter contains eight sections covering the cockpit, windscreen and canopy, fuselage, wing, landing gear, tail, engine, and armament and external stores details. Complete coverage of almost every square inch of the Hellcat is provided through 129 high resolution photographs, 119 of which are in full color. The comprehensive details chapter is followed by a colorful look at the paint schemes and markings used by the Hellcat during its operation life. The well known wartime paint schemes are all covered, as are the colorful post-war utility schemes seen on Hellcat drones and drone controllers. As with all Detail & Scale Series books, the final chapter covers the scale modeling history of the Hellcat, from the early kits that are now only collector’s items, to the wide range of kits that have been available for half a century, including the recent Airfix 1/24th kit, which is the most detailed and accurate Hellcat ever released. The most popular scales of 1/144th, 1/ 72nd, 1/48th, 1/32nd, and 1/24th are treated as separate sections, and the available models in each are reviewed. F6F Hellcat in Detail & Scale is the most comprehensive book on the Grumman Hellcat ever produced. The digital version features 108 pages, 245 high-resolution photographs (155 in color), eleven line drawings and other artwork, and 14 full-color aircraft profiles.

A fully illustrated study pitting together the superb Mitsubishi A6M Zero-sen, the world's finest carrier fighter in 1942, and the heavyweight F6F Hellcat. The Grumman F6F Hellcat and Mitsubishi A6M Zero-sen were the two principal opposing fighters in the brutal aerial clashes of the Pacific War from 1943 onwards. Reminiscent of the preceding F4F Wildcat, the F6F Hellcat was designed specifically to counter the earlier A6M2 Zero-sen, the strengths and weaknesses of which became fully understood by US designers after an undamaged example was recovered in the Aleutians. The powerful Hellcat had an impressive top speed, rate of climb and armament, and it retained its predecessor's incredible ruggedness. The A6M5 Zero-sen was also born out of an earlier type, but was intended merely as a stop-gap until more modern Japanese fighters could be produced to restore performance parity with Allied aircraft. The chaotic conditions of the Japanese Aircraft industry and war economy prevented new types from being built. Featuring detailed artwork illustrating the technical specifications of these two types and the dramatic encounters between them, this volume focuses on how these iconic fighters came into being, and how they fared as they faced one another over the Pacific skies of World War II.

In the course of two combat tours VF-9 pilots shot down 250 Japanese aeroplanes and produced 20 aces. VF-9 was activated in March 1942 as part of Carrier Air Group (CAG) 9, one of the many air groups the US Navy was hurriedly forming in the aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Equipped with Grumman F4F Wildcats, VF-9 first saw combat during the Allied invasion of North Africa in November 1942, where the squadron engaged Vichy French fighters over Morocco. Returning to the United States, VF-9 became one of the first squadrons to receive the Grumman F6F Hellcat and to deploy on the USS Essex, the first of its class of fleet carriers that would form the backbone of the US Navy's Fast Carrier Task Force. VF-9, the Hellcat, and the Essex all entered combat in the fall of 1943. This book details how, In the hands of the squadron's pilots, and with other Navy fighter squadrons, the Hellcat proved superior to the Imperial Japanese Navy's A6M Zero, which had heretofore been the world's premier carrier fighter plane.

A heart-stopping true tale of a submarine mission aimed at destroying Japan’s merchant marine lifeline and ending World War II. By 1945, the U.S. Navy's submarine force in the Pacific had sunk over a thousand enemy cargo ships and tankers supplying the food, weapons, and oil Japan needed to continue to fight. Yet this once mighty merchant fleet continued to thrive in the Sea of Japan, where, protected from American submarines by a seemingly impenetrable barrier of deadly minefields, they provided a tenuous lifeline for the Japanese. Senior American commanders believed that if these enemy ships were sunk, Japan would be forced to surrender. Here is the incredible story of Operation Barney, the daring plot to penetrate those minefields and decimate the enemy fleet. The brainchild of the dedicated sub commander Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood, the mission would hinge on a new experimental sonar system that would, with luck, guide American submarines safely past the mines and into the open sea. The nine submarines chosen, nicknamed Hellcats, were tasked with the impossible—the combined crews of 760 submariners all knew their chances of survival hinged on an unproven technology and their own nerve. Based on original documents and the poignant personal letters of one doomed Hellcat commander, Sasgen crafts a classic naval tale of one of World War II's most dangerous missions.

After an incident that almost saw her court marshalled out of Star Force, Lieutenant (junior grade) Ashley "Iceskater" Elway has found herself being reassigned to the Weapons Officer seat behind Gold Flight's newest arrival fresh from the Academy, Ensign Katie Beauchamp. To get her wings back and fly solo again, Iceskater has to learn to get along with her new "by-the-book" partner- much easier said than done, especially as the duo prepare for their first combat mission together.
