概要：随着盟军向日本推进，格鲁曼F6F“地狱猫”战斗机成为美国舰载战斗机部队的中坚力量。凭借一台动力强劲且可靠的普惠星型发动机，“地狱猫”在二战中取得了惊人的19:1的击落比，共有305名飞行员驾驶“地狱猫”荣膺飞行员称号。包括大卫·麦坎贝尔、塞西尔·哈里斯、尤金·瓦伦西亚和亚历克斯·弗拉丘在内的众多美国海军飞行员都曾驾驶过“地狱猫”。除了机翼上安装的.50口径机枪外，“地狱猫”还具备携带炮弹的能力，飞行员可向目标投掷2000磅炮弹。到1945年11月“地狱猫”停产时，共有12275架“地狱猫”从格鲁曼公司位于长岛贝斯佩奇的装配线上下线。本书通过精心搜集的照片（其中许多从未公开过），揭示了这架标志性飞机的历史和细节。本书是“战争传奇”系列丛书之一。

Summary The Grumman F6F Hellcat formed the backbone of America’s carrier-based fighter force as the Allies pressed the war toward Japan. Powered by a massive and reliable Pratt & Whitney radial engine, the Hellcat racked up an incredible 19:1 kill ratio against its foes in WWII, and 305 aviators earned ace status while flying the Hellcat. Such famed US naval aces as David McCampbell, Cecil Harris, Eugene Valencia, and Alex Vraciu all flew the Hellcat. In addition to its wing-mounted .50-calibre machine guns, the F6F was equipped to carry bombs as well, allowing pilots to deliver up to 2,000 pounds of bombs on targets. By the time that Hellcat production ended in November 1945, 12,275 examples had rolled off Grumman’s Bethpage, Long Island, assembly line. Through carefully researched photos, many never before published, the history and details of this iconic aircraft are revealed. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
