Wow - what a day at Old Warden for the Fly Navy show. Amongst the highlights, this Fleet Air Arm Wildcat. It'll be impossible to take a better photo of this warbird for the rest of eternity in my opinion - a perfect topside flown by Stu Goldspink, against perfectly clear blue skies with the sun at an optimum position.

This aircraft began service in 1940. The next photo will be of an F8F Hellcat to show the difference 4 years of advancement in aerodynamics made at that time.

Onboard the USS Midway: One of the Navy’s first monoplane designs, the Wildcat fighter was the mainstay of the fleet’s fighter force for the first half of World War II. Though less nimble than its adversary, the Japanese Zero, the F4F was more ruggedly built and with tactics like the Thach Weave, it could turn the tables on its foe. Though replaced by later designs like the Hellcat and Corsair on large carriers, uprated variants of the Wildcat served from small escort carriers throughout the rest of the war.

Here's one for Doug because he seems to be interested in this particular type of airplane. This one is an FM-2, the General Motors built version of the Grumman F4F "Wildcat".

My original LEGO model of the F4F-4 Wildcat. It features retractable landing gear, stowable wings, spinning prop, room for a minifig pilot, and retractable tail hook. Modeled in Sand Blue and Light Bluish Grey.

Nose cowling design originally designed by Ralph Savelsberg on his E-1 Tracer.
