Several Marine F7F-2Ns were on Okinawa when Japan surrendered. On the day Japan surrendered, one F7F night fighter was scheduled to fly a night Combat Air Patrol off the south coast of Kyushu.

Wasn't so much an "attacker". Not in the sense that the TBM was. It was a heavy fighter bomber, akin to the F6F and F4U lines, able to kill enemy fighters and still carry over 2000lbs of bombs to the target."

Got a large format of that picture?  I'd like to make it my wallpaper.  1280x960 or larger would be cool.

It's just the way it was, we can't change that. :)

in any way was that the piont of this Thread?

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

Corky Meyer, Grumman test pilot for the F7F program described the F7F as like flying two Bearcats bolted together.

The Navy's Chief test pilot called the F7F, "the best fighter I ever flew."
