Original U.S. WWII Grumman F6F Hellcat Factory Model in Period “Glass Dome” Display No Return or other damage aside fromOriginal Item. One of a Kind. The Grumman F6F Hellcat is an American carrier based fighter aircraft of World War II. Designed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat and to counter the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero, it was the United States Navy's dominant fighter in the second half of the Pacific War. In gaining that role, it prevailed over its faster competitor, the Vought F4U Corsair, which initially had problems with visibility and carrier landings.
