	Special Hobby's 1/48 XF-85 Goblin
		McDonnell Aircraft took on the job and built two prototypes of the XF-85 "Goblin" The aircraft had to be small enough to be stowed somewhere aboard the B-36 and light enough to minimize the reduction in payload/fuel.
		Powered by a small turbine engine, the Goblin was to be carried aboard a retractable trapeze in the belly of the B-36, launched at oncoming threats, then recovered on the trapeze.
		In fact, the first free flight of the Goblin nearly killed its test pilot as the XF-85 failed to "capture" the trapeze and part of the trapeze framework crashed through the canopy during one of the aircraft's gyrations.

	Unreal Aircraft - Flying Forever - McDonnell XF-85 Goblin
		SAC men who had flown in World War 2 remembered how much difference the P-51 escorts made when they could escort bombers all the way to Berlin, and still wanted fighter escorts into the post-war years.
		The McDonnell XF-85 Goblin was designed to meet a USAAF requirement for a single-seat 'parasite' escort fighter that could be carried by a large bomber.
		The fighter was intended to return to the parent aircraft and dock with a trapeze, by means of a retracting hook.

		Further development ceased when more conventional fighters with considerably improved overall performance became available to defend bombers.
		All tests undertaken on the XF85 were carried out using a Boeing B29 Superfortress bomber because a prototype B36 was unavailable.
		Later, a B36 was used as a mother ship for similar tests, carrying a conventional Republic F84F Thunderstream fighter.

	McDonnell XF-85 Goblin
		When enemy interceptors were sighted the Goblins were supposed to detach from the B-36's, drive off the attackers and then to hook back onto the carrier aircraft.
		Near disaster struck as the Goblin suddenly pitched up, smashing the canopy on the hook and tearing the pilot's oxygen mask off.
		He stuffed the remnants of the oxygen hose into his mouth and made a 200 mph emergency landing on a retractable belly skid.
