Cybermodeler Online"While there are quiet a few books that deal with the subject matter, few offer a balanced look at the aircraft from its pre-war development through its post-war service and still provide an interesting perspective to its development and operations through the war....a well-written book that will provide a unique look into some operational history and some interesting statistics of this historic symbol of American air power during World War Two. This title is highly recommended!" International Plastic Modelers Society, USA"Quickly following on the heels of their "P-47 at War" book comes this excellent 160 page publication. It is just chocked full of color photos and data of one of Grumman's famous "cat" series of aircraft....If you're an aficionado of the Hellcat, you'll most certainly want to add this fine book to your library. Most highly recommended." WWII History Magazine"A new addition to Zenith's outstanding 'At War' series, F6F Hellcat at War is bound to get any naval aviation buff's blood stirring. Over 100 photos, many in color, present the complete history of this legendary carrier-launched warbird from its initial design and development in the mid-1940s by Grumman Aircraft Corporation at its Long Island factory to its successful combat career in the Pacific... "Through compelling accounts, previously unpublished photos, and detailed engineering drawings, Graff does an excellent job of tracing the Hellcat's lineage and manufacture, then its roles as one of the most feared fighters of the war."
