“TERRIBLE TWINS”
Hellcats Arid Corsairs
(Received February 11, 12.5 a.m.) WASHINGTON, February 10.
The “terrible twins,” the Corsair and Hellcat fighters, destroyed 884 Japanese planes in the Pacific in 1943, reports the Navy Department. Only 170 Corsairs and Hellcats were lost, proving conclusively they are the answer to the vaunted Japanese Zero which gave the High Command grave concern in the early phases of the war.
