F4F Wildcat / Martlet

Against the odds, Grumman's tubby little 'cat' clawed its way back from obscurity to 'hold the line' and set new aircraft carrier aviation standards. The F4F Wildcat, known as the Martlet in Fleet Air Arm service, proved to be a rugged and stoic little fighter - even though it was not as fast as its land-based opponents. And it remained in operation on escort carriers until the end of World War II.
Note: I missed a change in the commentary. At 19:26 the speaker changes to David Wright (893 NAS)
