The FM-2 Wildcat was a carrier-based fighter used by the United States Navy and the Royal Navy during World War II, mainly in the years 1943-1945. It was deployed on escort aircraft carriers, where it proved its worth during Pacific operations. The FM-2 was a development of the earlier F4F Wildcat version and featured a more powerful engine, improved maneuverability, and a lighter construction, making it one of the most important escort planes of that period.
