FSX Grumman F6F5 VF27 Paul Drury

This texture represents the F6F-5 Hellcat white 10, 'PAOLI LOCAL' of Ens Paul E Drury, VF-27, USS Princeton, 24 October 1944. This machine was not flown by its regular pilot, 6.5-kill ace Paul Drury, on 24 October. Such was the hurry to scramble VF-27's fighters, pilots strapped into whatever aircraft they could find serviceable-not that an unfamiliar cockpit put Drury off for he downed three fighters in the bloody clash. Named after a Philadelphia commuter train that he used to catch near his home, Drury's PAOLI LOCAL was flown into combat on this fateful day by recently-arrived replacement pilot Ens O L Scott, who was subsequently shot down and killed-VF-27's only aerial loss on this day. By Brian Hill.

This is a repaint (textures only) for the Vertigo Studios (formerly known as RealFlight) F6F Hellcat. This repaint wasmade with the included paint kit by Vertigo Studios (RealFlight). Thank you Vertigo Studios (RealFlight) for this incredible plane!
