💯%. Ever once in awhile I pull my dad's stuff out from under the bed. Fortunately I have a fair amount of his flight training documents, his "Yearbook" from his time on the Independence, overseas photos and even his actual Pilot's Operator Manual got the F6F. Good Stuff

WWll. Dad was a fighter pilot in the Pacific Theater and flew patrol over the Missouri on the day Japan surrendered.
He flew an F6F Hellcat off of CVL-22 USS Independence.
