Summary

Description Display of U.S. Navy Grumman F4F-4 Wildcats showing that five with Grumman's "sto-wings" could occupy ther space of two without "sto-wings" (like the F4F-3), thereby increasing the stowage of aircraft and the striking force of carriers by about 150 percent. Grumman supplied all the U.S. Navy's carrier-based fighters from 1935 until 1943, and throughout the war two out of three Navy fighters and 98 out of 100 of the fleet's torpedo bombers were either Grumman-made or Grumman-designed.
