One of the famous American fighter pilot aces of World War II, namely Lt. Arthur Ray ‘Hawk’ Hawkins. Attached to Fighter Squadron 31 (VF-31) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Cabot between January and October 1944, his successes in his Hellcat during that time totalled 14 and included shooting and destroying five Japanese enemy aircraft in one day.
We have replicated his Grumman Hellcat No 12 in a dark blue with white markings. The contrasting detail to the aircraft is finished in black. His name appears in white beneath the cockpit together with his tally of ‘kills’ – all fourteen of them!
Highly decorated, ‘Hawk’ Hawkins survived the war and served with the US Navy until 1973. He died aged 81 in 2004.
