Short and stubby, Wildcat had neither performance nor appeal, and was outmatched by nimble Zeros, but it is her ruggedness that earned her the praise of many pilots. As she flies, her single Pratt & Whitney R-1830-76 14-cylinder air-cooled radial piston engine resounds through the air with a lighthearted laugh.

Hey, it's me, your stubborn little F4F-3 Wildcat! I don't boast much outside of four .50 cal, but it's okay, I can still fight where it counts!
