Re: Wildcat (Grumman F4F/General Motors FM-1) victories
According to Squadron/Signal #191 on the F4F, 311 FM-1 were delivered to the FAA (as Martlet MkV), equipping 36 squadrons ....... no indication of kills, only that a He111 and Fw200 were shot down by 881Sq on 12/2/44. They saw action from Feb 1944 in attacking the Tirpitz, the invasion of southern France and the far East.
340 FM-2 were delivered to the FAA as Wildcat MkVI, from August 1944. Mention is made of 4 Bf109G claims on 26/3/45 off the Norwegian coast. Cheers Peter
