No sweat! The F4F would probably have to taxi up to the number one wire for
a trapped landing.

It probably could also make a deck-run-takeoff off the angle deck with room
to spare.

VF-24, VA-192, 1956 - 1959

Suppose someone tried to land an F4F Wildcat on a modern American
aircraft carrier. We'll give the carrier a few hours to prepare, and lets

assume
the carrier is at sea and moving.

Can a WWII fighter land on a modern carrier? Can it get back in the air?

-Much Thanks
