Largely responsible for crushing Japanese airpower wherever the American fast carrier force sailed, the Grumman F6F Hellcat was considered the most important Allied aircraft in the Pacific during 1943 and 1944. Aviation historian Barrett Tillman presents the full story of the fighter plane; the men who built and tested it, the squadrons that flew it, and the heroes it created.
