This WWII fighter didn’t use hydraulics… pilots had to crank the landing gear by hand 😳. Before hydraulics became common, the F4F Wildcat used pure muscle power. Pilots had to crank the landing gear up and down mid-flight — sometimes over 100 turns — all to keep the aircraft light, reliable, and battle-ready. Simple engineering. Brilliant survival design. #WWIIAviation #AircraftEngineering #WildcatFighter #AviationHistory #WarMachines #WingsOfHistory | Wings Of History
