DARON PS5351-3 Postage Stamp 1/87 F4-F Wildcat USS Petrof Bay US Navy Aircraft

The Grumman F4F Wildcat is a carrier-based aircraft that was the primary fighter used by the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater during the early part of World War II. With a top speed of 318 mph. the Wildcat was generally outperformed by the faster. more maneuverable. and longer-ranged Japanese A6M Zero. but the Wildcat held its own with excellent survivability due to its rugged construction and robust armor.

White #6 was part of Composite Squadron VC-93’s team of Wildcats and Avengers adorned with a four-leaf clover. They operated out of Casablanca-Class aircraft carrier CVE-80 USS Petrof Bay. They performed escort. ground attack and anti-submarine duties towards the end of WWII. including during the Battle of Okinawa.

This model is approximately 4 inches in length and has a 5 inch wingspan. Adult collectible 14+
