For some time now I have been working on a website to try and do justice to the F4F/FM Wildcat and Martlet aircraft. It has seen many changes over time and will be a work in progress probably forever: http://www.angelfire.com/dc/jinxx1/Wildcat/F4F_pt1.html

Tell me what you think.

Additionally I have started to cover some details: http://www.angelfire.com/dc/jinxx1/Wildcat/F4F_FM.html

Color schemes: http://www.angelfire.com/dc/jinxx1/Wild ... olors.html

And survivors that I have photographed: http://www.angelfire.com/dc/jinxx1/Wildcat/F4F_pt2.html

I missed this thread the first time around - A very fine and informative page. My only critique is that yellow/orange text on a textured blue background is hard on my eyes. Thanks for setting it up! :drink3:

If you do a search you should be able to find the photos here on the WIX. I posted them the day the plane was lifted out of the water last December.
