Re: Looking for information on 805 FAA Squadron's Wildcats.

BuNos 3875-3904 were US Navy production F4F-3As diverted to Greece, but taken over by the RN in March/April 1941, whereas AX725 et seq.were ordered directly from Grumman by the French Purchasing Commission and did not receive Navy Bureau serials. They were received by the RN six months earlier than the ex-Greek F4Fs.

3872 was a temporary loan to 892 sqdn. at Norfolk for two months in 1942.
