The F4F Wildcat was the US Navy's primary carrier borne fighter aircraft at the start
of the Second World War. Characterised by its stubby appearance the Wildcat had
been developed as part of a successful range of pre-war biplanes and had entered
service with the US Navy a year prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. By
the time of the crucial battles for Midway and Guadalcanal the F4F-4 model had
become the most numerous variant and new tactics enabled American naval and
marine pilots to gain the upper hand on the previously all-conquering Mitsubishi Zero.
