The first swept-wing carrier-based fighter aircraft built for the US Navy, the F9F Cougar, marked a major leap forward in naval aircraft design from its predecessor, the straight-wing Grumman F9F Panther. The prototype of the first version of the Cougar, the F9F-6, first took to the air in September 1951, just six months after contract award. There were several different models of the Cougar, reflecting its varied uses as well as the general development of the aircraft. The F9F-6 was followed by the F9F-7 and F9F-8. In addition, there were also two reconnaissance models, F9F-6P and F9F-8P, as well as a two-seater trainer version, F9F-8T. The contemporary photographs in this volume illustrate in detail the differences between the various Cougar models, making use of more than a dozen display aircraft located in museums across the US as well as one Cougar on display in Argentina. Grounded in solid historical research, the book also features historical images from the photo archives of both the US Navy and Grumman, and also includes rare photos of F9F Cougar in its final days, serving as a target drone for later generations of fighters.

The contract for the new Grumman Cougar (G-93) was signed on March 2, 1951. The first flight of the XF9F-6 Cougar was on September 20, 1951. When Grumman and the Navy first discussed the Panther, both parties had privy to the Navy Technical Team findings in German WW-II research immediately after the war and the fact that many of the top German fighter designers had "migrated" to our new enemy, Russia. This information put firm emphasis on the greater critical Mach number with the swept wing over a convention straight-wing fighter for both the U.S. and the USSR.

By the end of World War II, piston-powered fighters were at their absolute zenith. As good as those airplanes were America's aviation industry found itself starting over in the Jet Age with new airplanes powered by anemic and somewhat cantankerous turbine engines. More importantly, just as these new aircraft were maturing, they were thrust into war in the skies over Korea. Grumman's first jets were potent aircraft in their own right, but they also proved to be the building blocks from which two more famous Grumman 'cats' were born - the legendary A-6 Intruder and supersonic F-14 Tomcat. Grumman F9F Panther/Cougar tells the story of the pivotal F9F Panther from its initial concept through early design and manufacturing, flight test, aircraft carrier trials, and combat operations in the Korean War. Completing this story is coverage of the more advanced swept-wing transonic Cougar that goes on to become an effective trainer and photo-recon aircraft as well. Detailed appendices provide the reader with complete data on F9F production numbers, carrier deployments, and squadron histories.

The Grumman F9F Panther was not only the first jet fighter from Grumman but also the first US Navy jet to shoot down an enemy aircraft in action when an F9F-3 shot down a North Korean prop fighter during the Korean War. Later, on November 9, 1950, the commanding officer of the VF-111 'Sundowners' squadron, Lt. Cdr. William T. Amen, shot down a North Korean MiG-15 jet fighter. It was the first jet to jet kill in the Korean War. Throughout that war, the Marine Corps and the US Navy depended heavily on the Grumman F9F Panther. Then came the swept wing Wizz jet - the F9F-8 Cougar. The Cougar was a bit late for the Korean War; however, it was the definitive F9F model. It was substantially quicker than the Panther, reaching Mach 1.2 in a dive while maneuvering at 7.5Gs. Moreover, the Blue Angels Naval aerobatic team flew the F9F-2 Panther from 1949 to 1950 and the F9F-5 Panther from 1951 to 1955. Then the team received the F9F-8 Cougar, which flew with the Blue Angels from 1955 to 1957. The Panther and Cougar were produced by the famed Grumman firm of Bethpage, New York. The company was noted for its high engineering capabilities and sturdy, durable, and rugged aircraft. The Panther and the Cougar were definitely that.
