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

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.
