Grumman
"Wildcat"
The Grumman "Wildcat" pictured below is
on the aircraft carrier YORKTOWN in Charleston,
S.C. It was restored by the Grumman retirees. The
wreck was found in Lake Michigan after an
interment of about 50 years. The Navy used two
old side paddlers converted to training
"Carriers". It was painted to represent
the F4F-3 Wildcat flown by Lt. Edward
"Butch" OHare of VF-3 Feburary
1942.
