Naval Fighters - NF115 - No Scale

McDONNELL FH-1 PHANTOM 64-pages, perfect bound, color covers, 159-b&w photos, 4-color photos, 25-drawings, 6-insignias. By Steve Ginter The US Navy's first purpose-built carrier jet fighter was the McDonnell FD-1/FH-1 Phantom, first ordered in January 1943. The small elegant aircraft had a long gestation period due to the delay in development of its Westinghouse jet engines. Originally six and even eight small 300 lb thrust engines buried in the wing were considered as powerplants, before two 1,600 lb thrust engines were settled on. These were mounted just outside of the wing roots and allowed conventional flaps and ailerons of any size to be utilized on the wing. It was fitted with tri-cycle landing gear, tailhook, and catapult equipment. The 500 mph aircraft first flew in 1946, and two XFD-1 protoypes were built along with 60 FD-1/FH-1 production Aircraft with half the FH-1s going to Navy carrier squadron VF-17A/VF-171 and half to Marine squadron VMF-122. The Navy operated its full squadron operationally aboard the USSa�é-Ë�Saipan (CVL-48) and the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVB-42) proving the feasibility of jets and carriers. The Marines fielded a FH-1 Flight Demonstration Team, "The Flying Leathernecks" too. The FH-1 had no vices in the air and with new engines the Phantom was re-engineered into the larger and very successful Korean War carrier fighter, the F2H Banshee. The Phantoms were relegated to the reserves from 1950

Naval Fighters - NF119 - No Scale

Curtiss XF15C-1 "Stingaree" 36 b&w pages with color covers, 87 b&w and 4 color photos. During WWII, the Navy ordered two carrier capable composite powered fighters (each equiped with one prop and one jet engine) to counter the land based all jet aircraft being developed by the Germans. The first was the small Ryan FR-1 "Fireball" followed by the much larger Curtiss XF15C-1 "Stingaree" heavy fighter. Three XF15C-1s, BuNos 01213-01215 and a static airframe were ordered on 7 April 1944. They were powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800-34W prop engine of 2,100 hp in the nose and an Allis-Chalmers H-1B (J36) (British "Goblin') jet engine of 2,700 lbs thrust in the tail. Ship one's first flight was made on 27 February 1945. All three ships were completed with a conventional tail group. During flight testing of ship one it was decided to retrofit ships two and three with "T"-tails to improve overall performance and to increase the number of aircraft that could be spotted on the carrier's deck and hangar deck. The first aircraft was lost to fuel starvation caused by a faulty gage. The other two XF15C-1s were delivered to the Naval Air Test Center where they were flown until the program was cancelled in October 1946 by which time the Navy decided to go with the all-jet FD/FH-1 Phantom.
