	[No title]
		The F6U was developed in response to the U.S. Navy's need for its first carrier-based jet fighter.
		Competing against McDonnell's F2H Banshee and North American's FJ-1 Fury, the Pirate never saw full deployment and in fact all 30 airframes built achieved total air time of only 945 hours.
		Nevertheless, this is an interesting story of "figuring out the jets." 34 pgs., 55 photos and many original engineering drawings.
