Wildcat (Grumman F4F/General Motors FM-1) victories - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hello Leonard,

thanks for that interesting breakdown.
For my birthday my wife endowed me with Barrett Tillman's "Wildcat Aces of World War 2" (1995).
He Mr. Tillman explicitly writes:

US Marine F4Fs (11 Squadrons) 562 victories
US Navy F4Fs (28 Squadrons) 520,5 victories
US Navy FMs (38 Squadrons) 432 victories

In his article "The Wilder Wildcat" (2014) the same author indicates 422 victories for the FM-2 which would imply 10 FM-1 kills, wouldn't it ?

Have a nice weekend,

Michael
