The F4F Wildcat was the U.S. Navy's most widely used
carrier-based fighter during the early days of the war in the Pacific.
F4Fs saw action first at Wake Island and then took part in the battles
for the Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal. Their ratio of victories to
losses during World War II was 6.9:1.
