Description	Wreckage a U.S. Marine Corps Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat from Marine fighter squadron VMF-211 on Wake Island. This was probably the plane of Capt. Freuler, on the beach where he crash-landed it on 22 December 1941, after he had destroyed a B5N Kate in aerial combat. Bullets penetrated his fuselage, vacuum tank, bulkhead, seat, and parachute.
