Re: FAA Hellcats vs. the Tirpitz
There was a two-parts article about the various raids on the Tirpitz in the november and december 2003 issues of the French magazine "Avions"...
They mentioned only Hellcats Mk1s which used only guns in April (which they used against AAA positions and the Tirpitz itself), but also 500 lb bombs in August, with which they reportedly got a couple of hits. There was a (quite bad) photograph of Hellcat on the Emperor, another (better) one of Hellcat about to be catapulted from the same ship, and a Hellcat colour profile, the other photos depicting mostly Wildcats and Barracudas. Hope this can help. Kolya.
