Martlet Mk. II (Fixed wing) by Captain Kurt
This is a new model of the GM Martlet Mk. II (Fixed wing) for CFS 2.
The Martlet II was the first Martlet actually ordered by the British Purchasing Commission for the FAA. The contract was for 100 F4F-4A equivalent aircraft with folding wings and 3 guns per wing with 240 rounds per gun. The first ten Mk. IIs were delivered to F4F-3 standards with fixed wings and 4 wing guns. This model depicts those first 10 aircraft. They were powered with a Pratt and Whitney R-1830-76 Twin Wasp, which had a two stage two-speed supercharger. The wings were fixed, with 4 wing guns and 430 rounds per gun. They spent most of their service with 802 squadron, & most were lost when the world's first CVE, HMS Audacity, was sunk by U-751 off Portugal, 20th December 1941.
The textures supplied follow their history with 802 squadron Fleet Air Arm:
"Q" AM963 Sub Lt. Jimmy Sleigh scored the first carrier-based kill for the Martlet, downing a Heinkel He111 whilst on detachment to HMS Victorious, in the Barents Sea, Norway, 13th September 1941
"R" AM958 An impression of the aircraft flown by Eric "Winkle" Brown, operating off the deck of the world's first escort carrier, HMS Audacity. He would score 2 Fw200C Condor kills during their short-lived deployment on the Gibraltar convoy run, September-December 1942.
