Hellcat mirror anyone? - Willy - 06.11.2007
I'd like to suggest that a mirror be added to the Hellcat cockpit as they had them fitted historically.

A selection of F6F-3 & F6F-5 Hellcats showing the mirror.

And last, an F6F-5 of the British Pacific Fleet showing the unusual addition of a Spitfire (no doubt Seafire in this case) mirror. This was by no means standard but photos of such installations are not uncommon. I'm not amazed by it as many FAA Hellcat pilots were ex-Spit or Hurricane jockeys and having access to Seafire parts from the store fitted them to suit themselves.

I think the Wildcat mirror would be an obvious choice as it was probably the same component used in the Hellcat.

Agreed - this is the kind of thing we should be correcting IMHO. A significant feature of the aircraft is missing, so let's put it in.
I don't fly the Hellcat much, but when I do I want it to be just as it was. This is as close to WW2 combat any of us will ever get, so let's make it as authentic as possible. :wink:
