Built in 1945 as FM-2 Bureau Number 86746. The FM-2 was the last version of the Wildcat and had a more powerful engine, the 1350 HP Wright R-1820-56 Cyclone. This required more vertical fin area resulting in the taller tail. The FM-2 was primarily assigned to the CVE carriers operated by the US Navy during WW 2.

This FM-2 was one of the last Wildcats built and was accepted by the US Navy as '86960' only days before the official Japanese surrender and the end of WWII. It spent most of its military career in storage at Bethpage, NY and was stricken from the inventory in 1947. The aircraft was restored in the late 1970s and is on display wearing the markings of a FM-2 from VC-70, a composite squadron which operated from the escort carrier U.S.S. Salamaua (CVE-96) from May to September 1945.

Originally intended for the French Aéronavale, the FAA received its first Wildcats in July 1940. Renamed Martlet by the RN, the rugged fighter operated over Norway, from escort carriers during the Battle of the Atlantic, in the Western Desert, over Madagascar and in the Far East. The RN reverted to Wildcat in Jan. 1944. This ex-USN Wildcat is in the FAA paint scheme aboard HMS Tracker in 1944.

On display at the Cradle of Aviation Museum. This Wildcat flying from USS Sable ditched in Lake Michigan on Jan. 16, 1944. At the time, many pilots qualified for deck landing on USS Sable and USS Wolverine, which were side paddle-wheel aircraft carriers. Quite a few aircraft were lost in Lake Michigan, and this Wildcat was recovered in 1988.
