| JL Pensicola, FL | The U.S. Navy first flew this Aircraft in May 1945 on the
U.S.S. Ranger. Only 66 Fighters were built and sadly the Fireball was discontinued shortly after the War ended in August 1945. The unveiling of the Fireball was Sept. 26, 1945 a little over a month since the last atomic bomb. From all the information available on the Aircraft, the FR-1 Fireball was a perfect selection because the testing of the airplane went so well in such a short time. This is one aircraft the Navy let go too fast. 09/29/2000 @ 15:10 [ref: 816] |
