Description
An account of the aces that flew this important piston-engined, single-seat fighter with the US Navy and Marine Corps: the aesthetically inelegant F4F Wildcat.
Thrown into combat at Coral Sea, Midway and Guadalcanal, the handful of Wildcat units of the Navy and Marine Corps took on large numbers of fighters and bombers and came out victorious. On the European front, the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm also put the fighter to effective use from escort carriers, protecting Atlantic convoys from Luftwaffe attacks.
