The Grumman F4F Wildcat was a pivotal American carrier-based fighter aircraft that saw extensive service during World War II, particularly in the Pacific Theater. Known for its ruggedness and reliability, the Wildcat was the primary fighter of the United States Navy in the early years of the war. Despite being outperformed by more agile Japanese fighters, its pilots used innovative tactics and the aircraft's robustness to great effect.

Significant variants of the Wildcat include the F4F-3 (early version with fixed wings), F4F-4 (folding wing version for easier carrier storage), and the FM-2 (improved version produced by General Motors).
