This folder contains a repaint for the Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat by Got Friends. It shows Wildcat MF-1, flown by Major Robert Galer, the CO of VMF-224, based on Guadalcanal Island, 1942. In May 1942, Galer assumed command of Marine Fighting Squadron 224 (VMF-224) and on 30 August 1942 led the squadron to Guadalcanal, where they became part of the Cactus Air Force. It was while in command of VMF-224 that Galer would be credited with 11 confirmed victories and be awarded the Medal of Honor and a rare British Distinguished Flying Cross for the same acts of heroism.
