F6F-3, LT Richard E. Stambook, VF-27, USS Princeton, October, 1944
Surely, among the most recognizable markings carried by US Navy aircraft must be those of Hellcats of VF-27 flying off the
USS Princeton. Hellcat bearing the number „17" was the personal mount of LT R. E. Stambook. Stambook attained 11 kills
during his combat career. The sharkmouths and bloodshot disappeared from the VF-27 Hellcats shortly after the Battle
of Leyte Gulf, the Philippines. USS Princeton was sunk by Japanese naval bomber on October 24, 1944.
Nejnápadnìjší marking ze všech Hellcatù US Navy mìly stroje z jednotky VF-27, která operovala proti japonským silám
z paluby letadlové lodi Princeton. Na tomto letounu létal LT R. E. Stambook, eso s celkem 11 sestøely. Ozubené tlamy
zmizely ze strojù VF-27 krátce po potopení Princetonu japonským bombardérem 24. øíjna 1944 bìhem bojù o Filipíny.
