Grumman F9F Panther
|
|
The first prototype F9F (the XF9F-2) first flew in 1947. Carrier trials were carried out on board the USS Franklin D Roosevelt in 1949. The Panther was the U.S. Navy's most extensively used fighter during the Korean conflict. Outclassed by the swept-wing MiG-15, the F9F was used primarily as a ground attack aircraft. A swept-wing version of the Panther (the F9F-6 Cougar) first flew in 1951. The Panther was re-designated the F-9 in 1962. |
