	F2H Banshee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The McDonnell F2H Banshee was a military carrier-based jet fighter aircraft, used by the US Navy from 1951 to 1959 and by the Royal Canadian Navy from 1955 until 1962.
		The Banshee was also fitted with Westinghouse radar equipment, enabling the fighter to be used for all-weather missions, and the cannons were moved downwards and rearwards away from the nose to accommodate the new radar.
		The subsequent movie of the same name used F9F Panthers in place of Banshees for all the flying sequences, although parked Banshees are visible in the background of several scenes.

		The Banshee was a rugged and reliable, all-weather, fleet defence and ground attack fighter.
		Nicknamed the "Banjo," the McDonnell F2H-3 Banshee was a carrier based air defence fighter used by the RCN from 1955 to 1962.
		The Banshee was a versatile Aircraft, serving both as an all-weather interceptor, and a fighter-bomber.

	McDonnell F2H Banshee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		McDonnell's Banshee was developed from the Navy's first jet powered fighter aircraft, the FH-1 Phantom.
		With performance similar to the Grumman F9F, the Banshee proved to be less durable in combat and that standard F2H-2 could not carry as great a weight of ordnance as the Grumman.
		Pilots loved the docile handling of the Banshee and the ease of which she could be flown.

	McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee
		A total of 364 F2H-2 Banshees were built, the first being delivered in the winter of 1949 and the last in May of 1952.
		Since Banshees were assigned with higher priority to the Sixth Fleet in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the Navy F2H-2s did not return to the Korean War zone until the autumn of 1952.
		The only Marine Banshee outfit to see combat in Korea was VMJ-1, which operated from Pohang Airfield in Korea from March 1952 until the end of the Korean War in July 1953.

	Boeing: History -- Products - McDonnell F2H Banshee Fighter
		The McDonnell F2H Banshee fighter, immortalized by James Michener in his novel, The Bridges of Toko-Ri, was similar in design and appearance to the FH-1 Phantom, but it had twice the power and carried bombs as well as rockets and cannons.
		The Banshee was a multimission aircraft: used as a day fighter, as a night fighter and for photoreconnaissance; a variant was specially strengthened to carry nuclear weapons.
		Banshees became the U.S. Navy's standard aircraft for all-weather fighter missions of extended range and served with the Navy until September 1959, when the Canadian Navy acquired 39 former F2H-3s.

	McDonnell F2H
		The first ever jet carrier landing was done by a McDonnell FH-1 "Phantom" in July of 1946.
		The "Banshee" followed in 1949 and gained fame as one of the premier Navy jets in the Korean theater.
		The F2H was more maneuverable, and faster, than the Grumman F9F-5 which was in service at the same time.

	F2H Banshee
		McDonnell redesignated the aircraft the XF2H-1 and after some problems with the tailplane were resolved an order for 56 craft was placed in May, 1947.
		The first craft were delivered in August 1948 for service evaluation by Navy pilots, a year later during an aerobatic test a pilot was forced to eject, the first US pilot to use an ejector seat[?] in a real emergency.
		The last RCN Banshees retired in September 1962.

	F2H-2/P2/2N Banshee
		McDonnell’s F2H-2 Banshee served in combat in Korea for the United States Navy and was derived predominantly from the earlier FH-1 Phantom project that came to fruition during the closing year of World War Two.
		The FH-1 Phantom, the Banshee’s predecessor, was the first operational jet fighter to serve in the US Navy and the first jet aircraft to fly off of a US carrier.
		The F2H Banshee was an improved airframe with folding wings, lengthen fuselage (which housed more fuel) and more powerful engines (Westinghouse J-34 WE-34).

	McDonnell Banshee
		The U.S. Navy advised that surplus Banshees would not be available until mid-1955 because their Banshee replacement, the F3H Demon, was delayed due to development problems.
		The effectiveness of the Banshee's primary weapon, the Sidewinder 1A heat seeking air-to-air missile, was demonstrated in November 1959, while VF-870 was deployed to the Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton England.
		The F2H-3 Banshees were flown from the Naval Air station HMCS Shearwater and the aircraft carrier HMCS Bonaventure by VF 870 and VF 871 squadrons from November 1955 to September 1962 when the Banshee was retired from the RCN without replacement.

	F2 H Banshee
		The Banshee is 48' 2" long, 13' 11" high and has a wingspan of 41' 8".
		The Banshee has a cruise speed of 461 mph, a maximum speed of 527 mph, a maximum climb rate of 5,900 feet per min.
		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.

	F2H Banshee Crashes Aboard USS Essex
		She was the first carrier to launch F2H Banshee twinjet fighters on combat missions; on 16 September 1951 one of these planes, damaged in combat, crashed into aircraft parked on the forward flight deck causing an explosion and fire which killed seven.
		McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee jet fighter (Bureau No. 124968), piloted by LtJG Keller, heads toward planes parked on the starboard side of the flight deck, forward, after clearing three barriers at 1823(I).

		Shortly after its first flight, the XF2D-1 was redesignated XF2H-1 when the factory code for McDonnell changed from D to H. Flight tests and service evaluations went fairly well, but some control problems were encountered which resulted in the decision to replace the dihedral tailplanes of the prototypes with tailplanes without dihedral on production models.
		The first operational unit to receive the Banshee was VF-171 based at NAS Cecil Field in Florida, trading in its Phantoms for the new type.
		The ability of the Banshee to reach such extreme altitudes was an embarrassment for the Air Force, which had been arguing that its B-36s flew so high that they were immune from interception.

		The Banshee was similar in design and appearance to the FH-1 Phantom, although larger and with more powerful twin Westinghouse J34 engines which gave about twice the power of the J30 engines in the FH-1.
		The Banshee's engines were installed in expanded wing roots next to the fuselage to reduce aerodynamic drag.
		Designed to conform to the Navy's exacting requirements for carrier operations, and to meet its needs for high speeds and increased rates of climb, the F2H Banshee became the Navy's standard aircraft for all-weather fighter missions of extended range.

		The F2H was an enlarged development of the FH Phantom.
		Performance was not very impressive, but if it lacked glamour, it also lacked vices, and the good handling qualities made the F2H popular with its pilots.
		The Banshee was used as fighter-bomber and reconaissance aircraft in Korea.

	MPC 1/72 McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee
		The McDonnell F2H Banshee model became the US Navy's first truly viable jet aircraft to operate from a carrier.
		It proved itself as quite a reasonable ground attack aircraft in Korea as it was not a model that was really capable of air combat, the role for which it was built.
		Overall this presents a very nice replication of the Banshee, and given that you will need to find Airfix's example you should find the same construction details as this MPC version.

		Made its appearance in 1949, having a longer fuselage than earlier versions in order to accommodate more fuel in the fuselage as well as as fixed wingtip tanks.

		I personally remember the Marine Banshee squadrons in Korea being used for photographic missions.

	F2H Banshee in Action
		Oh, there’s a 1/48 Banshee of sorts on the market, Testor’s repop of the ancient Hawk kit, first tooled shortly after the crust of the Earth cooled.
		In fact, up to now, I’ve only found two references of any kind on the F2H, an older Ginter book that’s mainly useful for paint and markings schemes, and the 1/72 Airfix F2H-2/-2P kit, which is the only thing available to give you any hint of where the Banshee’s panel lines are.
		Their new volume #1182 tells the Banshee story in the now-familiar “In Action” format, with adequate text, a few color paintings and profiles, and lots and lots of good BandW photos.
