"Fast Cats" honors the legendary F6F Hellcat, the principal carrier-based fighter of the U.S. Navy during the latter half of World War II. Introduced in 1943, the Hellcat quickly earned a reputation for ruggedness, reliability, and combat effectiveness.

Flying from aircraft carriers throughout the Pacific, Hellcat pilots achieved an extraordinary combat record and were credited with more aerial victories than any other American naval aircraft during the war.
