The F6F we have in our museum is painted up as Minsi III, McCampbell's plane. Unfortunately, it is on temporary assignment to the CAF HQ in Texas.
Here is the correct listing of top 6 aces in Hellcats:
1. David McCampbell- 34 (unit VF-15)
2. Cecil Harris- 24 (unit VF-18)
3. Eugene Valencia- 23 (unit VF-9)
4. Alexander Vraciu- 19 (unit VF-6/16)
5. Cornelius Nooy- 19 (unit VF-31)
6. Patrick Fleming- 19 (unit VF-80)
Am I vindicated now?!
