"Operation Torch" was an Anglo-American invasion of French Morocco and Algeria that were the bases for the Vichy French Forces and Navy. The invasion began on the 8th of November, 1942, and was completed on November 16. Part of Task Force 34 was the USS Ranger with VF-9 as one of the squadrons onboard. One sortie carried out by VF-9 included nine F4F led by Lt. Cmdr Jack Raby. The aircraft made three-abreast passes over Cazes airfield located southwest of Casablanca destroying many aircraft still on the ground.
VF-9 also shot down six Vichy airborne aircraft.
Early in the Pacific War in WWII, the Grumman F4F Wildcat was the best fighter aircraft in the US. It had a bunch of new features like folding wings, self-sealing fuel tanks, and heavy armor. By the end of WWII, the F4F had flown approximately 15,500 sorties with a kill ratio of 6.9 victories to 1.
