Zigomar Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 On the 2"rd of November 43 while operating around the Gilbert islands Hellcats from the Lexington VF-16 jumped some fifteen Zeros from the 252Ku. In the ensuing melee nine Zeros were lost for one Hellcat. EV1 Eugene Hanks became an "Ace in one day" by shooting down five enemy planes. The model depicts his plane after he added 5 victories tallies on his F6F. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
