- This book is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Roger Seybel and to all the great volunteers at the Northrop Grumman History Center in Bethpage, New York. This dedicated bunch volunteers their valuable time each week to keep this... (show all) facility running. I visited the center in November 2001 and was able to look through the files on hand. I would personally like to thank the following volunteers:
Larry Fellieu
Lynn McDonald
Robert Tallman
Roger Seybel
This new edition of 'Wildcat in Action' strives to shed light on some of the murky details of the Wildcat design. During my research, I was able to obtain drawings of the wing configurations of almost every Wildcat version. Additionally I was able to uncover details about the F4F-7, one of the lesser-known variants of this fine aircraft. - First words*
- (Introduction): Aeronautical development was accelerating at an amazing pace by 1935.
Grumman completed construction of the XF4F-2 (BuNo 0383) in September of 1937. - Original language*
