The F4F-4 was an improved vers... moreion of the earlier Wildcat variants, featuring six .50 calibre machine guns, and the Grumman-designed 'Sto-Wing' folding wing which enabled a greater number of fighters to be deployed from the carriers. The Wildcat had a shorter operational range and an inferior climb rate compared to its adversary the Japanese Zero. Despite these limitations, the Wildcat's robust design and ability to absorb punishment came to the fore in the Battle of Midway when experienced pilots performed air combat manoeuvres known as the 'Thach weave' (after Lt Cdr John S Thach, see marking option 1) inflicting heavy losses on the Zero.
