This was the 15th of 250 Tigercats to roll off the assembly line before joining VMF-911 at MCAS Cheery Point in March 1945. Her service lasted only three years before joining the civilian register as N7654C, even serving time as a fire-bomber before being acquired by the National Naval Aviation Museum in 1980.

In 1940 it was clear that the US Navy would have to increase dramatically the number of pilots that were being trained. A varirty of types were used for this purpose and amongst them were 305 Falcons. This example, of what is a very rare type, now hangs in the magnificent National Naval Aviation Museum.

The US Navy ordered 100 NR-1 Recruits to help training the burgeoning number of pilots required in 1941. This aircraft on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum is actually an Army PT-22C, 41-15512, which went to civil as N49086, hence the fake serial. Well done to anybody that can name all the types in the background!

This is the only SB2U extant and was delivered in July 1939, serving in patrol roles until it was transferred to Carrier Qualification Training Unit, Glenview NAS, IL. and assigned to the USS Wolverine (IX-64). It crashed a month later and sunk to the bottom of Lake Michigan, where it stayed until recovery in 1990. After restoration it is now on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

This is the only SB2U extant and was delivered in July 1939, serving in patrol roles until it was transferred to Carrier Qualification Training Unit, Glenview NAS, IL. and assigned to the USS Wolverine (IX-64). It crashed a month later and sunk to the bottom of Lake Michigan, where it stayed until recovery in 1990. After restoration it is now on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

This priceless two-seater trainer version was captured intact in Northern Germany and after WWII sent to the Armament Test Division, NAS Patuxent River for tests and evaluation. Later she was used as the template for reverse engineering newbuild machines on the the 'Me-262 Project'. In return she was restored to this immaculate condition and, although the link to Naval aviation may be a little tenuous, I was more than thrilled to see her at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

This 'Bamboo Bomber' is painted with green engine cowls and sash to represent a JRC-1 Navy WWII era trainer and is on display at the wonderful National Naval Aviation Museum. It carries a fake serial (63426 was a Vought F4U-4 Corsair), and never served with the Navy. Ex USAAF 43-7995, then civil as N63426.
