Grumman Bearcat F8F-2 from Glenview Naval Air Station. It was developed to outperform the agile Japanese fighters. With a flush riveting barrel body mounting a powerful engine R-2800-30W, it was the world fastest fighter aircraft at the time.
It was equipped with 19 US Navy squadrons at the peak of service and saw service with French and Thailand. Jeremy
