The FM-2 Wildcat FM-2? The Wildcat was designated F4F. This was a training carrier so maybe this was an older aircraft. Freeper experts please chime in.

IIRC the F4F Wildcat was replaced by the 2,000 hp F6F Hellcat. Jap pilots didn’t know what hit them.

You took the words right out of my mouth(or thoughts out of my brain), I too know the Wildcat was the F4F. This must be some sort of trainer, or maybe a prototype. As you say, any FReepers who knows what a FM-2 is please chime in.
