"Wildcat"
From a 20" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas
The Grumman F4F Wildcat
was the standard shipboard fighter of the US Navy at the start of
World War II in the pacific. It has often been said that it was
completely outclassed by the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, as the Zero was
faster and much more maneuverable than the Wildcat, and included two
20mm cannon in its armament. What made the Zero so light and
maneuverable was the total lack of armor for the pilot. However, the
Wildcat had virtues of its own. It was rugged and reliable, could
withstand a great deal of battle damage, and was a very stable gun
platform.
