5731 F4F Wildcat

The Grumman F4F Wildcat was a US Navy deck fighter from the Second World War built at the Grumman plant. When the US entered the war in 1941, the Wildcats were the US Navy's primary deck fighters and were gradually replacing the older aircraft from the base squadrons. Wildcats were the only fighter protection for the US fleet. In the Pacific, the main opponents of the Wildcats were the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M fighters, popularly known as "Zero".

The aircraft developed by COBI received the historic colors of the pilot who became the first fighter ace of the American Navy! Particularly noteworthy are such historical details as the emblem with the cat Felix and the number of victories placed next to the cockpit.
