Wildcat

The Grumman F4F Wildcat was an American carrier-based fighter that began service with both the U.S. Navy and the Fleet Air Arm in 1940, becoming the primary carrier fighter for the first year and a half of the United States Navy's involvement in World War II in the Pacific Theater.

When the Empire of Japan invaded the United States in 1941, the Wildcat proved to be no match for the Japanese Zero.
