This is another of the skins requested by Devil for a future Guadalcanal event.
This F4F was flown by Captain Marion Carl of VMF-223 at Guadalcanal in 1942/43. Carl first saw action in June 1942 with VMF-221 defending Midway from the the IJNAF's carrier strike force. The squadron's 25 Wildcats were badly mauled by the escorting Zeroes and though he scored his first kill his was one of only 10 Wildcats to survive the encounter. After the battle Carl was assigned to VMF-223 who arrived at the newly taken airfield of Guadalcanal in August 1942. In the fierce fighting for Guadalcanal over the next few months Carl increased his score to 16.5 kills one of which was the Japanese ace Lt. Cmdr. Junichi Sasai. He would score two more kills in the later Solomons battles bringing his score to 18.5 kills.
