Summary[edit]

Description U.S. Marine Corps Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat of Marine Fighter Squadron VMF-321 flying over Washington D.C. (USA), in 1950. VMF-321 had converted from the F4U-4 to the F6F-5 in 1949 and then changed quickly to the F8F. In 1950, the F8Fs were traded for the F4U, again, as the F8F were needed to aid the French in Indochina.
