	Emhar 1/72 F3H Demon by Clarence Wentzel
		The F3H Demon is one of a group of lesser-known aircraft designs that started production in the mid ‘50s and were a link between the aircraft of the Korean War and those of the Century Series era.
		The Demon was probably more famous or infamous for the failure of it’s initial engine than for it’s subsequent successes.
		This would be appropriate for a Demon in the November 1957 timeframe but Demon aircraft were updated in late 1956 with an upper wing mounted spoiler.

	F3H Demon
		While more reliable this new engine had to be 'shoe-horned' into the airframe and with less power than needed did little for the aircraft's performance.
		The first Demon with a J-71 flew in October 1954.
		Another problem was with the ejector seats, initial versions could fail to operate and had to be replaced with Martin Baker[?] models.

	AirToAirCombat.Com: McDonnell F3H Demon Details
		The F3H-2P was a proposed reconnaissance variant of the J71-powered Demon, with the radar and the armament being replaced by camera installations.
		Consequently, the F3H-2 Demon was not often used in its intended general-purpose role.
		In addition, the Demon was still somewhat underpowered even with the J71 engine, and the two upper cannon were often omitted to save weight, especially when missiles or external stores were carried.

	McDonell F3H Demon by Bob Jellison
		In 1956 the Navy ordered 239 F3H-2 Demons; these, in addition to the 30 Demons designed for the J-40 that were modified to accept the J-71, brought the total buy of J-71 powered F-3H's to 269.
		Although the Demon was the Navy's first true all-weather missile fighter, and its' front line all-weather interceptor from 1957, until it was replaced by the F-4 Phantom in 1962, it is remembered by very few.
		In early Demons the scheme worked fine as long as the aircraft was at higher speeds, but in the landing pattern the small propeller didn't provide enough energy to support the hydraulic needs for aircraft control.

		In 1952 McDonnell Aircraft executives, fearing that the grossly underpowered Westinghouse J40 engine might be the stake through the heart of the F3H Demon program, asked for and received permission from an initially reluctant Bureau of Aeronautics to consider other turbojet engines for the aircraft.
		Another amendment followed which called for the 61st and all subsequent Demons to be fitted with the J71.
		Wing area was increased by 77 square feet by lengthening the wing chord by 40 inches at the root and moving the trailing edge back.

	F3H Demon - The Promise and the Reality
		By the time construction of the J-40 engined Demons was stopped, $289 million had been spent, of which $107 million went to Westinghouse for the J-40 engine disaster.
		Both the F7U "Cutlass" and F3H were aircraft potentially competitive with the Air Force's Century Series fighters, had their original engines performed up to design specifications.
		Note: In this photo the Demon is carrying a Delmar target boom mounted on the outboard missile pylon and its air driven winch mounted on the inboard missle pylon.

	Marine Corps Times - ‘Dash twos’ overcame woes to guard fleet
		Compared to “dash one” Demons, the Navy’s J71-powered “dash two” models had broader wings with power-operated slats and large flaps that enhanced performance at high altitude and during carrier landing.
		Although still somewhat underpowered and short on range and endurance, the Demon was in service from 1956 to 1964 and unquestionably had a key role during the early years of U.S. confrontation with the Soviet Union.
		The “dash two” Demon was one of the first Fleet warplanes to carry the AAM-N-6 Sparrow and AAM-N-7 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles that were later carried by other fighters in Vietnam.

	Army Times - Engine faults ‘dashed’ Demon’s Navy career
		When naval aviators look back at the F3H Demon, their reactions depend on whether they flew the “dash one” or “dash two” versions of the futuristic-looking, needle-nosed jet fighter.
		The first version of the Demon, the F3H-1 or “dash one,” later called the F3H-1N, was crippled by the engine problems that stymied the Navy during the Korean War era.
		The Demon was a response to the Soviet MiG-15 that shocked Americans when it appeared in Korea.

	McDonnell F3H-2 Demon by Phil Brandt (Golden Wings 1/48) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The McDonnell F3H-2 Demon shared the unfortunate fate of an entire late Fifties/early Sixties generation of pace-setting Navy fighter designs doomed to short operational lives by the failure of Westinghouse jet engines to produce promised thrust and reliability.
		The extremely poor reputation of these powerplants resulted in Westinghouse abandoning the aircraft engine business, but although the Demon soldiered on only 'til 1964 with the replacement J-71 engine, the airframe's design concepts were already evolving into what would soon be the fighter standard of the world for the next twenty years, the F-4.
		Unit markings are from the Golden Wings decal sheet and are those of the famous VF 31, "Felix the Cat." National insignia was from a Superscale sheet, as are various stencils.

	Cybermodeler Online - Grand Phoenix 1/48 McDonnell F3H Demon
		The McDonnell F3H Demon was the first all weather US Navy carrier-based interceptor aircraft capable of carrying both Sparrows and Sidewinders.
		After the Demon of course came the Phantom II which continued the McDonnell domination of this side of Navy business.
		The Demon was going to have only one engine, departing from the twin engine concept of the Phantom I and the Banshee.

	Grand Phoenix 1/48 F3H Demon by Tom Cleaver
		The J71 was heavier than the J40; this increased weight plus the increase from making the Demon an all-weather fighter forced changes in the airframe, with wing area increased by 77 square feet by lengthening the wing chord by 40 inches at the root, moving the trailing edge back.
		The fact it was underpowered in takeoff and landing configuration - the two most dangerous points of carrier-based operations - and did not have a zero-zero-ejection seat meant the pilots took off and landed with the canopy open in order to maximize their chance of survival in a crash.
		As a result, the Demon was prohibited from flying into known icing conditions, a serious restriction for an airplane that was supposed to be an all-weather interceptor.

	F3H Demon / F-3 Demon
		The F3H Demon was the first swept-wing jet fighter designed by McDonnell Aircraft and the only single-engine carrier-based fighter built by the company.
		The F3H-2M Demon, first flown in 1955, was the first U.S. combat aircraft designed to be armed primarily with missiles rather than guns.
		In service, the Demon performed dependably and gained praise from pilots for its stable flying characteristics at high altitude as well as during carrier operations.

		A January 1949 U.S. Navy Letter of Intent initiated the design of the F3H Demon, which was intended to fill the role of a high-performance, short-range interceptor.
		Later versions of the Demon included the F3H-2M, which were specially fitted to carry the AIM-7 Sparrow missile, and the F3H-2, a strike-fighter capable of carrying up to 6,000 lb.
		Nevertheless, though it never fired a shot in anger, the F3H helped spawn McDonnell's next fighter, the famed F4H/F-4 Phantom II, which was in part derived from a proposal for an advanced version of the Demon.

		Deux « Demon » censés intercepter des B-52 à haute altitude furent perdus...après panne de leurs réacteurs.
		Le « Demon » affichait néanmoins encore un rapport poids/poussée largement inférieur à celui d'un Mig-17 ou d'un Mig-21 qu'il pouvait affronter à l'époque.

		The F3H Demon is the "father" of the famed F-4 Phantom II.
		Early Demons were to be powered with the Westinghouse J-40 that never met expectations, so the plane was underpowered.
		The Demon never saw combat but it was involved in the Suez canal incidents.

		The F3H Demon was an unspectacular passage in the history of US naval aviation.
		It was not until the Navy finally dropped their insistence that the J40 engine be used that the Demon could become a usable aircraft, now fitted with the far more reliable Allison J-71.
		A couple of Demons survive in museums, one example on board the USS Intrepid in New York (and another at the Pima Museum in Tucson as well as one at the US Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola).

	F3H-2N Demon Review by Brett Green (Grand Phoenix "Ultimate" series 1/48)
		It is perhaps surprising that modellers have had to wait until 2004 for a good quality, injection moulded 1/48 scale kit of the F3H Demon considering it was an important Cold Warrior, and wore a good selection of striking markings.
		This is a genuine multi-media kit with 56 parts in grey styrene, 2 parts in clear; 66 parts in pale yellow resin; 1 photo-etched fret; 2 sheets of self-adhesive masks (for canopy and wheels); Aeromaster decals for two marking options.
		Grand Phoenix' 1/48 scale F3H-2N Demon is a big and impressive multimedia kit with some really attractive markings.

	F3H Demon
		In a few seconds the arresting cable will be slackened, cleared from the hook by a deck crewman, and the aircraft will taxi forward, later to be respotted for another launch or moved via deck edge elevator to the hanger bay.
		In its first incarnation (F3H-1N) the homely Demon was an underpowered flop, lacking essential performance and reliabilty, largely due to its Westinghouse engine forced upon McDonnell by the Navy.
		The Demons of VF-31 usually carried two sparrows and two Sidewinders and could be armed with 20mm cannon, and was seen armed with the latter while shore based in Florida during the Cuban Missle Crisis.

		The set comprises a single piece of resin, a 1/48 scale version of the short "beaver tail" worn by the latter build examples of the F3H.
		A simple conversion if there ever was one but it means that you can produce a late build Demon with ease.
		This is good news as I understand that AeroMaster/Eaglestrike has also announced that they will be producing at least four decal sheets for the Grand Phoenix kit and I bet there will be a couple of late build examples amongst them.

		The Banshee was followed by a swept-wing fighter, the F3H Demon, which performed its first flight in 1951, with a total of 521 built.
		As a follow-up to the Demon, the company began design studies for a more advanced naval fighter-bomber in the early 1950s, with the effort conducted under a team led by Herman D. Barkey.
		The F3H-G incorporated features from the Demon, as well as the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo, a twin-engine interceptor the company was developing for the US Air Force (USAF).

		The Navy had even issued a contract to the Temco Aircraft Corporation of Dallas, Texas, for an additional 100 Demons to be manufactured under license.
		The production F3H-1N differed from the prototypes in having its ailerons relocated to mid-wing, and the entire nose and cockpit sections were tilted down five degrees in order to improve the forward vision during carrier approach and landing.
		However, McDonnell was able to recover some of its good name with the F3H-2 variant of the Demon, in which the unreliable J40 engine was replaced by an Allison J71.

		Initially, the goal of the team was to extend the production life of the F3H Demon single-seat carrier-based fighter by boosting its performance and improving its versatility.
		Several quite different design concepts emerged, all of them being informally designated by the company as F3H-X since they were all viewed as a natural follow-on to the F3H Demon.
		The F3H-E project (also known as Model 98A by the company) was similarly powered, but dispensed with the nose-high attitude of the Demon and stood level on a tricycle undercarriage.
