Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have many in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view. The Grumman Wildcat was an American carrier-based fighter aircraft that began service in 1940 with the United States Navy and the British Royal Navy (where it was initially known as the "Martlet"). First used by the British in the North Atlantic, the Wildcat was the only effective fighter available to the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific Theatre during the early stages of the Second World War. A new version, the F4F-4, entered service in 1941 with six machine guns and the Grumman-patented Sto-Wing folding wing system, which allowed more aircraft to be stored per aircraft carrier.
