1942 The Grumman F6F Hellcat fighter flies for the first time
![](http://www.brooksart.com/Unlucky7.jpg)
After early US Navy experience in the Pacific in the early months of WWII, and after consultation with Allied air forces in the European theater, Grumman began to develop a successor to their Wildcat fighter, to be called the Hellcat. Major design changes from the Wildcat included a low-mounted wing, wider landing gear which retracted into the wings, more powerful engine, improved cockpit armor plating, and increased ammunition capacity.
Number Built: 12,275
Number Still Airworthy: 8

Thanks Johnny. I remember being fascinated by the F-15 as a kid. One of the first model planes I ever built

Thank you. SAM and I appreciate your kind words. :)

Thank for today's thread SAM. I remember reading the Put-in-bay thread and this follows that nicely.
Proctor was just horrible as a leader, my goodness!
To: SAMWolf; snippy_about_it
I'm in here as well.
War back then was a different thing.
Fought by different men and under different terms.
That is a hard thing to get across to people nowadays since people now think differently.
History bump.

Hiya Darksheare. Just think, if this battle had gone the other way Ontario and Quebec might have been part of the US.

Quebec?
I think it would have seceded, or tried to.
Ontario would have been a better deal.
*chuckle*
That is true, though.
Hmmm..

Oh darn, I guess I should have thought to look for you. Sorry. It's just not like you to not have checked in.
Next time I'll look before I holler. :)
