This fighter was the last straw for biplanes, and resulted in the US Navy finally following the army by converting to monoplanes, interesting to note an aircraft that was both a biplane and a monoplane though.
Could anyone who has photos of the XF4F-1 please send them to me using the E-mail address provided
