Come out to the American Heritage Museum to see our new visitor in the Pacific War Gallery, our Grumman (Eastern built) FM-2 Wildcat carrier-based fighter used by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps during WWII. The Grumman-built F4F Wildcat played a major role in primary air defense of the Pacific fleet in the early stages of the War in the Pacific. Though it was no match for the maneuverable Japanese A6M Zero, it was a tough aircraft that could take a beating, and in the hands of a skilled pilot, could be a match for the Japanese attacker.

We will have the FM-2 Wildcat on display in the museum through the summer - we hope to see you soon! More info on visiting at www.americanheritagemuseum.org/ ... See MoreSee Less
