The series production of the fearsome Grumman F6F HellCat ends; in the short three years of its production, 12,272 units were produced; providing a fundamental contribution to the conflict: out of 6,477 Japanese aircraft shot down in flight in dogfights, more than 5,000 were shot down by this fighter which also boasts, like many American aircraft, a notable robustness and armor which in turn penalizes its weight.
