Re: Wildcat (Grumman F4F/General Motors FM-1) victories
Hi Michael
the noted Naval Aviation author Barrett Tillman has arrived at these figures ( other sources can vary but I'd go with Barrett). US Navy F4Fs.......520.5 US Marine F4Fs.....562.0 US Navy FMs........432.0 ( 422 by FM-2s). This would suggest 10 by FM-1s; as these were operating in the Atlantic on CVEs they had few opportunities for claims. Many FM-2 victories were Kamikazes. **Please note these are only victories by US Wildcats not including a few by Royal Navy Martlets / Wildcats ( Barrett says 67). Regards Nick
