The Air war in the Pacific raged for 4 years and some of most fiercesome air battles took place in the Pacific theatre. In almost all the battles Grumman Hellcats and Zeros were the main protagonists. From the beginning of the engagement, F4F wildcats met with A6M Zeroes, legends were written about both planes and the battles they were in.
The Zero, light and manoeuvrable armed with cannons, (Wildcat had only MGs) had important performance advantages over the Wildcat and held its ground against the Grumman cat in the first years of war.
In early 43, the new Grumman cat - The F6F Hellcat - was introduced into the battle grounds, the Zeroes advantage disappeared. Hellcat was a powerful machine capable of holding the Zero on its own and combined with initially, a numerical advantage but later in the war better pilot training, the Hellcat dominated skies over the pacific until the end of the war.
Many legendary battles were fought between these opponents including the Battle of Midway, The Battle of the Philippine Sea and many other legendary engagements.
