Squadron Signal Aircraft In Action 1079 F7F Tigercat
Reports from Europe during the first year of World War II prompted the U. S. Armed Forces to reappraise theircurrent generation of combat aircraft. The U. S. aviation industry was asked to prepare proposals for future combat aircraft that reflected the lessons learned from European combat. By early 1941.Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, pre-eminent supplier of U.S. naval aircraft was engaged in production, both for the U.S. and export, of three aircraft types: the F4F Wildcat, JRF Goose and J4F Widgen. Additionally, the prototype of the TBF Avenger was nearing completion and would be entering production soon. Grummans experimental shop was involved in flight testing two revolutionary twin-engine monoplane fighters, the XF5F-I Skyrocket for the Navy and its Army Air Corps counterpart, the XP-50.
