Fleet Air Arm - Grumman Martlet II - AM958
A Grumman Martlet II of the Fleet Air Arm. Ordered by the British Purchasing Commission as Grumman G-36Bs, the Martlet II was powered by a Pratt and Whitney R-1830-S3C4-G engine and had the Grumman Sto-Wing folding wings fitted (unlike the US Navy F4F-3 equivalents, which had fixed wings), to allow them to fit on narrow elevators on British carriers.
