Chance Vought F6U Pirate
Naval Fighters Vol. 9

Koehnen. The F6U was developed in response to the U.S. Navy's need for its first  carrier-based jet fighter. Competing against McDonnell's F2H Banshee and North  American's FJ-1 Fury, the Pirate never saw full deployment and in fact all 30 airframes built achieved total air time of only 945 hours. Nevertheless, this is an  interesting story of "figuring out the jets." 34 pgs., 55 photos and many original engineering drawings. 8½"x 11", sfbd.     #0003308

Ginter. After the Korean War ended, the U.S. Navy built the new radar-equipped "3" and "4" variants of the F2H Banshee fighter, which were longer, larger aircraft than their predecessors. Filled with archival images, this volume examines the design, development, and operational history of those 1950s, all-weather F2H-3/4 fighters. 176 pages, 150+ B&W photographs and illustrations, 8"x 11", softcover.

Jim Mesko. The FH-1 Phantom was the first U.S. jet aircraft to operate from a carrier in 1946, and it served with the Navy and Marines until 1950. Its follow-on, the F2H Banshee, was an enlarged and improved FH-1 that saw extensive service as both a fighter/bomber and as a reconnaissance aircraft in Korea. This book examines the development and use of both the Phantom and the Banshee through 100 photos, line drawings, ten color profiles and more. 50 pgs., 11"x 8", sfbd.      #0005885      1
