The F4F Wildcat was a sturdy fighter, sometimes called "Graman Iron Works", but this nickname was the successor to the F6F Hellcat, which was the successor to this unit.Is also given.
F4F Wildcat, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is the largest rival in the early Pacific War, which is the largest rival in the early Pacific War, in fleet air air battles such as the Coral Sea Battle and the Midway Nea Battle.Introducing its performance and history compactly.In the mid -1930s, the U.S. Navy, which had been looking for a new single -leaf seat fighter, adopted the latter aircraft as the F2A buffalo out of the prototypes of Graman and Brewster.However, the former aircraft was also difficult to throw away, so it was adopted as an F4F wildcat.And when the Pacific War began, Buffalo was unable to match the Zero Fighter, but Wildcat could win the Zero Fighter depending on how he fought.Wildcat was sturdy and resistant to damage, while Zero Fighter with excellent motor was not equipped with bulletproof defense.For this reason, there are many aircraft that managed to return home, despite being severely beaten by Zero Fighter in the air battle.John Satutch (the final class: general) has a deep relationship with wildcat.When he learns that this unit does not match the Zero Fighter with one aircraft, he sets this unit to one pair (called this section), and two pairs, that is, two pairs (this is called a division).After that, he created an air battle technique to fight one Zero Fighter.At that time, Japanese aerial radio telephone devices had poor performance and could hardly be used, but that in the United States was excellent.As a result, it was natural for Zero Fighter to fight in a single machine, but the four aircraft, which had been linked over aerial radio telephone, decided to fight one Zero Fighter.First, while one section is attacking Zero Fighter, another section covers it.And if Zero Fighter escapes the attack of the section, the covered section will be attacked on behalf of the section.In other words, in an air tactic that repeats the maneuver of two aircraft attacking and covering two aircraft, the inventor, the inventor, initially called this a beam defense.However, the US Navy, who later respected the idea of the Satatch, decided to call the air warfare the Satch Weave.Since then, the Satatch Weave has been used in various improvements and has been used in fighters other than wildcat.In addition, the improved type of wildcat, which is a performance -improved FM1 and FM2, has appeared, but both have improved performance, and on the contrary, Zero Fighter, whose pilot quality has decreased due to the progress of the war, is the appearance.It was often shot down by a similar late -type wildcat.
