FAA Hellcats vs. the Tirpitz
Hi!
Does anyone have pictures showing Hellcats used in the raids against the Tirpitz in Kaafjord (both spring and summer of 1944)? I'm especially interested in the markings on these planes, and whether they were Mk I's or II's (or maybe a mix of both)? I'm also interested in knowing what differed a FAA Hellcat from a US Hellcat. I've seen FAA machines were the antenna mast was removed leaving only a small stub. I guess these Hellcats used the whip antenna instead? Was this a common configuration? Any info appreciated  Best regards Rune Norway
