Skyblazer said:One of the most interesting of all the post-war US Navy competitions has to be OS-113, which called for a carrier-based interceptor fighter. Below are the identified proposals:
- Grumman G-86
- Lockheed L-183
- McDonnell 58
- McDonnell 60
- North American RD-/RE-/NA-1544
- Republic NP-48/-200
- Republic NP-49
- Vought V-362
The winner, of course, was the McDonnell Model 58, which was evaluated as the XF3H-1 Demon and produced in quantity in the F3H-1 and F3H-2 versions.
Now we can add;
Vought V-362B
Douglas D-591,D-592 & D-592A
