The F6F Hellcat was developed in response to the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter. It was characterised by a solid construction, high firepower and simple controls, which made it extremely effective in combat. This aircraft played a key role in the Battle of Midway, the Battle of Leyte and many other campaigns in the Pacific. It was one of the main factors in the domination of American aviation over Japanese aviation. Now this legend of the Pacific is also available in the COBI range!

The F6F Hellcat shot down more enemy aircraft during the Second World War than any other American fighter aircraft. With 5,156 confirmed kills, the Hellcat achieved a 19:1 win-loss ratio, the best result of any fighter deployed in the conflict. After the end of World War II, Hellcats were used by the US Navy and other militaries around the world, including France and Uruguay. They also served during the Korean War, mainly as training aircraft and in support roles. The Grumman F6F Hellcat remains one of the most celebrated fighter aircraft of World War II and is prized for its effectiveness, durability and ease of operation. It was a key element in the success of Allied air operations in the Pacific and is considered one of the best fighter aircraft of its time.
