Well, I do hope the entire Grumman affair can be turned around.
Why?
After B0B. the next theater will be the Med. You cannot have Med Ops without the Grumman F4F Wildcat/Martlett for Operation Torch, and it's use by the Royal Navy in general.
Any aircraft from any country that is kept from us because of these petty legal concerns is a loss to all of us.
No single country won the war on it's own, and no country could have won without the help of all the others involved.
