This is a repaint of the FDGv2 Donationware F4F-3 Wildcat found here:http://www.donationware.net/ Martlet III AX733/K, flown by Sub-Lt W M Walsh RN, No 805 Sqn, FAA, Western Desert, 28 September 1941 No 805 Sqn was a constituent part of the RN Fighter Unit which operated alongside RAF squadrons in the Western Desert during 1941 and 1942, operating with the Hurricane-equipped Nos 803 and 806 Sqns. The Martlets scored victories against three Savoia Marchetti SM.79s, a single Ju 88 and a Fiat G.50. The latter was downed by Sub-Lt W M Walsh, flying this Martlet III. Originally painted azure blue overall, the unit's Martlets soon picked up stone upper surfaces to camouflage them against the desert. The Martlet III was also used by No 806 Sqn, which claimed four kills when it escorted the Operation Pedestal convoy to Malta during August 1942, flying from HMS Indomitable. Thanks to the crew at FDGv2 for providing us this great plane!! Please take the time to read the original read me, that I have included.
