F4F Wildcat and F6F Hellcat

19.96 / EEC 16.63 / OUTSIDE EEC

Pacific War: Throughout the conflict, 6477 Japanese aircraft were shot down by the US Navy, including 5000 by the GRUMMAN WILDCAT and HELLCAT. MITSUBISHI versus GRUMMAN, or Japanese technological performance versus American power and industrial efficiency.At the beginning of the conflict, it was the small 4F WILDCATs that were on board the aircraft carriers of the US NAVY.They were sturdy, easy to handle. maintain and repair, but their performance was average.
The very maneuverable Japanese ZEROs gave them a hard time, and air control belonged to the Japanese naval air forces.
It was therefore necessary to launch a faster, better armed, better protected apparatus into battle.
GRUMMAN engineers set to work and just one year after the first stroke of the pencil, the F1F called HELLCAT had among other advantages that of protecting the pilots and therefore of better managing human potential.
This was not the case for the ZEROs, the protection of the pilot being sacrificed for the benefit of autonomy and maneuverability. The most seasoned of the Japanese aviators were decimated during the fierce air combat and they are neophytes who, from 1944 were opposed to the Americans.
