Did they carry them on inboard wing pylons or outboard pylons?IIRC the ones in British service carried 250#'s during the invasion of France.
EDIT: Or Italy?
I imagine the FM-2 could accept a similar bombload to the one depicted there, is that correct?Inboard

"A 250 lb bomb loaded into Wildcat 881 Squadron FAA HMS Pursuer invasion of Southern France 15 August 1944"
Where'd you get those data sheets?I find the -3 fitted for bombs as well

I have found one photo of a Wildcat, a -4 carrying bombs but they were on the outer-wing section.,
I've actually started to update that Detail & Scale volume (and the other F4F volume from the year 2000) for re-publishing and I've learned that even on the XF4F-2, Grumman had built in the capability to carry a 100lb bomb under each wing.
