This Wildcat was delivered to the Navy in late August 1945 so is unlikely to have seen action during the War. However, it is painted to represent an FM-2 of VC-79 (two white diamonds on the tail) embarked on USS Sargent Bay.

This NEAM Wildcat was a bit too blocked for my liking from the front, so I was left only with this bland angle from the rear. This plane served aboard USS Mission Bay in 1945.
