Spinners Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat - No.4 squadron, Royal Dhimari Air Force, 1943 With USN and USMC fighter squadrons replacing their Grumman F4F-3's with F4F-4's during 1942 the Royal Dhimari Air Force became the grateful recipients of surplus F4F-3's in early 1943 and used them to good effect in the fighter sweeps over the Valley of Kerman. When six gun F4F-4's later became available in 1944, Dhimari pilots were quick to express a preference for the slightly faster and considerably lighter earlier F4F-3 model despite it only having four guns.
