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.

The first U.S. Navy aerial photographs were taken in 1913 in support of fleet exercises off Guantanamo, Cuba. Following WWI, a Navy Photographic expedition went north, making the first aerial mapping photos of the Alaskan territory. WWII found Navy shuttermen in the Pacific theatre, performing pre- and post-attack reconnaissance, along with "hitting the beach" to record the war as it unfolded. Shortly after, Navy photographic units were in the Pacific to record early atomic bomb tests. The Navy's aerial photo reconnaissance mission, both at the front end with the weaponless aircrews and the output of thousands of images and photo interpretation, continued to develop through the mid-20th century. The last aerial photo plane in the Navy's inventory was retired after flying to the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum Annex at Dulles International Airport in Fairfax County, Virginia. The 74 year odyssey of Navy and Marine Corps aerial reconnaissance photography was finished.

A detailed look at the deadly battle between US Navy F9F Panther jet fighter-bombers and communist anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) defenses that proliferated throughout the Korean War. The F9F Panther was one of the many fighters converted for ground-attack duties, following an established US tradition. Originally designed as a jet fighter, in April 1951 it became the first jet to launch from a carrier with bombs loaded, using them to destroy a crucial railway bridge at Songjin. The Panther's four 20 mm guns were considered to be very effective for flak suppression and these aircraft were used as escorts for propeller-driven AD Skyraider and F4U Corsair attack aircraft. However, later in 1951, flak damage to Panthers increased as the Chinese established better AAA weapons to defend key transport routes. The communist AAA crews had heavy guns of 37 mm caliber and above. Gunners could use optical height finders, predictors and in many cases radar control. They learned to conceal their weapons in civilian buildings, use wires to bring aircraft down, and set up false targets as "flak traps." Both opponents' tactics and gunnery are explored in depth in this study of the F9F Panthers and of their adversaries. Containing full-color illustrations including cockpit scenes and armament views, this innovative volume also includes a detailed analysis of the US Navy Panthers' loss rates and their causes.
