The F6F Hellcat was one of the most important carrier-based fighters of the US Navy during World War II. Early in the conflict, a version was also developed that featured additional armament and equipment for night interception missions, aimed at combating Japanese bombers and reconnaissance aircraft operating after dark over the Pacific. Hellcats, armed with .50 cal machine guns and 20mm cannons, effectively used their firepower advantage during the Battle of the Philippines, the fighting in the Philippine Sea, and operations at Okinawa in 1944–1945, helping to change the course of aerial battles in favor of the Allies.
