Historia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial: el F6F Hellcat, más que un rival para el A6M Zero japonés

Students will explore the evolution of the F6F Hellcat as the U.S. Navy’s carrier fighter of choice. Moving from the F2A Buffalo to the F4F Wildcat we will discuss how engineers learned to build a fighter than can launch and land from a carrier and go head to head with the Japanese Zero. We will look at examples of aircraft performance through air battle reports, and discuss aces who learned to use the aircraft effectively. I will provide guided notes with pictures to the students for future reference.
