Grumman F4F Wildcat

We start another series, on the fighters of the US Navy and Marine Corp, with the Grumman F4F Wildcat. This was the most modern fighter aircraft available to the US Navy when it entered the Second World War, and remained the most important fighter for eighteen months, fighting at Midway and on Guadalcanal. In eleven articles we cover the development and service record of this fighter. We also add four pictures of the Martlet and side, top and front plans of the Wildcat.
