4 totalThis is a repaint (textures only) for the Vertigo Studios (formerly known as RealFlight) Grumman F6F Hellcat. This repaint was made with the included paint kit. This texture represents the F6F-3 white 5/BuNo 40315 of Lt Hollis 'Holly' Hills, VF-32, USS Langley, 30 April 1944. Having already earned a place in the history books by scoring the first ever kill in a Mustang, Hollis Hills became a naval aviator in late 1942, and helped form VF-32. He considered himself to be a good shot, and had a chance to show his ability when his new unit went into combat in 1944. Employing German 'Yo-Yo' tactics of diving into a target, making one firing pass and then using his speed to quickly regain altitude, Hills used this aircraft, callsign 'Steele 5', to down three Zekes over Truk Atoll on 29 April. By Brian Hill.
