Скачать или смотреть McDonnell FD/FH Phantom - A Forgotten Navy Jet Fighter

Often forgotten in the modern day, the McDonnell FD (later FH) Phantom is worth remembering. This simple jet fighter would prove the start of a legacy. Both of navy jet fighters, and McDonnell as a major navy supplier. Something that continued, through the merger with Douglas, through the Cold War.

And it all began with the Phantom, a humble first-generation jet fighter. One that, much like the contemporary Ryan Fireball, saw limited production and service. The Phantom was quickly outmoded by larger and more capable designs, including the derivative Banshee.

Despite this, it remains an important stepping stone in Navy jet fighter development.
