[[Image:F6F Hellcat.jpg|right]]The '''F6F Hellcat''' was the plane that turned the tide for [[America]] in [[World War II]].  It replaced the F4F Wildcat, and like its predecessor, had an air-cooled piston engine and six heavy machine guns.  This Grumman fighter plane gave [[air supremacy]] to U.S. forces in the [[Pacific]], shooting down over 5100 enemy aircraft for the loss of only 270 Hellcats in aerial combat.  More [[Japanese]] planes were shot down by this model than by any other plane.  The top scoring ace in the Hellcat was [[David McCampbell]], who scored 34 aerial victories in the Pacific theater while serving on board the USS ''Essex''.<ref>Aces, by William Yenne, 2000</ref>
