史上最大の教科書-Why was the F6F Hellcat so good? The F6F was very maneuverable, and it had good pilot visibility as well as excellent armor plating. Powered by the reliable Pratt and Whitney R-2800 engine, the Hellcat was equipped with six 50 caliber machine guns, making it a match for any fighter of World War II. How many F6F Hellcats are still flying? Today, five F6F Hellcats are still flying, in the hands of Tom Friedkin, the Commemorative Air Force\u0026#39;s Southern California Wing, Paul Allen\u0026#39;s Flying Heritage Collection, the UK\u0026#39;s Fighter Collection and the Yanks Air Museum. How many planes did the F6F Hellcat shoot down? Hellcat pilots achieved an amazing 19:1 kill ratio, downing 5,156 enemy aircraft in just two years, accounting for 75 percent of the Navy\u0026#39;s aerial victories during the war. Late in the war the Navy conducted evaluations of Allied and captured Axis fighters. Was the Hellcat better than the Corsair? The claimed kill count of the Corsair stands at 2140 victories, whilst the Hellcat has a claimed kill count of 5163.
