A dramatic study of the World War II fighter, from design and development on the Grumman factory floor to combat use in the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and in the British Fleet Air Arm. In the crucial battles of Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal, the little Wildcat held the line and helped turned the tide for the Americans. In the Solomons, it was the Navy fighter that bled the Japanese naval air forces dry. Tillman gives the underrated and tough little fighter its due.
