GRUMMAN F4F WILDCAT

Title: Grumman F4F Wildcat

The Grumman F4F was a carrier-borne naval fighter which first flew in 1937. It saw extensive service with the British Royal Navy who took over orders intended for France. It was initially designated Martlet by the Royal Navy but this was later changed to Wildcat. The aircraft was adopted by the US Navy in 1941 and although outclassed by later aircraft such as the F4U and F6F, it continued to be produced for use on smaller carriers which could not handle heavier aircraft.

We offer two titles for the Grumman F4F which contain four flight manuals (titled Pilot’s Notes for RAF publications) for variants of the Grumman F4F in British Royal Navy service and one flight manual for a US Navy variant. The files have been scanned from the original flight  manuals and retain any colour pages.
