Kamuflážní schémata:

A) VF-27, USS Princeton, říjen 1944

Nejvýraznější marking ze všech strojů US Navy měly Hellcaty VF-27 z USS Princeton (CVL-23). Jejich žraločí tlamy a rozzuřené oči se vryly do paměti nejednomu japonskému pilotovi. Neobvyklé a neoficiální označení strojů této jednotky namaloval na přídě všech strojů VF-27 jeden z jejích pilotů, Robert Burnell. Od září 1944 tak zubaté Hellcaty naháněly v Pacifiku hrůzu všude, kam se probojovaly. Vždyť za toto období zničili jejich piloti na 200 letounů nepřítele. Konec bojů pro VF-27 nastal 24. října 1944, kdy byla USS Princeton zasažena japonskou bombou a po ničivém požáru nakonec i s letouny potopena torpédy vypuštěnými vlastními plavidly. Pouze několik strojů, které se v době útoku nacházely ve vzduchu, přistálo následně na lodi USS Essex. Jedním z nich byl i tento stroj s neobvyklým označením F11 a dvěma sestřely v podobě japonských vlajek pod kokpitem.

B) Lt. Arthur Singer, VF-15, USS Essex, 24. – 25. říjen 1944

USS Essex (CV-9), zařazená do Task Force 58, se zúčastnila bitvy v zálivu Leyte, která proběhla ve dnech 24. a 25. října 1944. Hellcaty z VF-15, jež z paluby Essexu startovaly, byly součástí druhé vlny amerických letounů útočících 24. října na japonskou bitevní loď Musaši a podílely se potopení této chlouby japonského námořnictva. Arthur Singer Jr. dosáhl statusu esa dne 12. září 1944, když nad ostrovem Cebu sestřelil japonskou stíhačku identifikovanou jako J2M Jack. Za účast v bitvě o záliv Leyte byl vyznamenán Distinguished Flying Cross. Singer má přiznáno celkem deset sestřelů.

Marking options:

A) VF-27, USS Princeton, October 1944

The most striking markings applied to the Hellcat were applied to the aircraft of VF-27 on the USS Princeton (CVL-23). The sharkmouth and bloodshot eyes seared themselves into the memory of more than one Japanese pilot. The sharkmouth and eyes were applied to all the Hellcats serving with VF-27 by one of its pilots, Robert Burnell, and with them, wreaked havoc everywhere they operated in the Pacific. Over this span, they accounted for some two hundred downed enemy aircraft. The end of combat for VF-27 came about on October 24th, 1944, when the Princeton suffered a Japanese bomb hit. A major fire ensued, and the Princeton was finally sunk using torpedoes launched from friendly ships. Only a few aircraft that were in the air at the time landed on the USS Essex. One of them was this Hellcat, with the uncommon ‘F11’ marking and with two kill marks in the form of small Japanese flags below the cockpit.

B) flown by Lt. Arthur Singer, VF-15, USS Essex, B October 24th - 25th, 1944

USS Essex (CV-9) participated with Task Force 58 in the Battle of Leyte Gulf that took place on October 24 – 25, 1944 in the Philippines. VF-15 Hellcats were launched from Essex as part of the second wave of U.S. aircraft that attacked the Japanese battleship Musashi and helped to sink her on October 24th. Arthur Singer, Jr. achieved ace status on September 12th, 1944, downing a J2M Jack fighter over Cebu. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his extraordinary achievements while participating in aerial combat on October 25th, 1944. Singer´s final tally was ten victories.
