Wildcat (Grumman F4F/General Motors FM-1) victories

[knusel]

Good morning Nick,

the Robert Allen list indicates:

• 986 PTO kills for the F4F/FM-1, no CBI kills
• 26 MTO kills for the F4F/FM-1, no ETO kills
• 422 PTO kills for the FM-2, no CBI/ETO/MTO kills

Where do you think do the 10 presumed FM-1 kills fit in ?

I wish you a good weekend,

Michael

The FM-1 entered squadron service in January 1943 and operated interchangeably with the F4F-4 within those squadrons. I don't really see the point in trying to identify FM-1 claims separately.
