This remarkable F4F Wildcat WWII display is professionally encased in a glass display case with plush padding and a tightly sealed enclosure.This display case is our LARGE size, measuring a perfect 8 inches tall x 6 inches wide.This incredibly rare and historically significant piece of WWII history is an original mission-flown fragment of a Grumman F4F Wildcat aircraft, flown during the Battle of Guadalcanal at Henderson Field in 1942-1943. The Grumman F4F Wildcat was a crucial American aircraft during World War II, known for its ruggedness and reliability. During the events at Guadalcanal, the Wildcat played a significant role in providing air support for the Allied forces. Henderson Field, a strategically vital airstrip on Guadalcanal, became an infamous focal point. Wildcats operating from Henderson Field helped to secure air superiority over the island, defending against enemy air and naval forces. Their efforts were critical in protecting the field and Allied troops on the island. The Wildcats' contributions were instrumental in the eventual Allied victory, marking a turning point in the Pacific Theater. Based on historical records of the Grumman F4F Wildcats stationed on Guadalcanal during this time, we can offer insights into the potential U.S. Navy or Marine Corps squadrons to which this fragment may have belonged. Below is a list of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps squadrons stationed at Henderson Field during this period. While the fragment was found buried and was part of a discarded combat-damaged section, which prevents us from directly linking it to a specific plane, pilot, or squadron...and originated from one of these units below: United States Navy:VF-5 (F4F) – September 1942VF-26 (F4F) – March 10–April 25 & June 26–August 5, 1943VF-27 (F4F) – March 10–April 25 & June 26–August 5, 1943VF-28 (F4F) – March 10–April 25 & June 26–August 5, 1943United States Marine Corps:VMF-223 (F4F) – August 20–October 16, 1942VMF-121 (F4F) – October 1942VMF-123 (F4F) – February 3–August 1943This would make an exceptional addition to any WWII or aviation collection.
