This question carries its own answer. Grumman made the Hellcat, along with the Wildcat, Tigercat, Bearcat, Panther, Couger, Tiger, and Tomcat fighters for the US Navy.
The Grumman F6F Hellcat was a carrier-based fighter aircraft developed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat in United States Navy service.Source: Wikipedia
Grumman made the cat family: Wildcat, Hellcat, and the Bearcat single engined WWII fighter planes. During Korea they made the Panther & Cougar jets. After the Viet War they made the F14 Tomcat jet.
A F6F Hellcat has a maximum speed of 330 kn (380 mph, 610 km/h)
The A6M had the longest range (nearly 2,000 miles), so the Hellcat could run out of gas and crash into the sea if the pilot is inexperienced. That aside, Grumman designed the F6F specifically to kill the A6M Zero. The Hellcat had 6 fiftys and was built like a tank! It had the horse power and speed of an assassin. The Hellcat would kill the A6M, unless the Zero had a good pilot (like Sakai).
No, the M18 Hellcat did not serve in D-Day. The M18 Hellcat, a tank destroyer used by the U.S. Army, was introduced later in World War II, with production starting in 1943. By the time of the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, the Hellcat was not yet in service in Europe. The vehicle saw extensive action in the latter part of the war, particularly during the Battle of the Bulge and in the push into Germany.
Grumman didn't close. It became Northrop Grumman when it merged with Northrop.
Hellcat Records was created in 1997.
