THE FJ-1 FURY

The North American FJ-1 Fury is an early turbojet-powered carrier-capable fighter aircraft used by the United States Navy. Developed by North American Aviation starting in 1945, it became the first jet aircraft in USN service to serve at sea under operational conditions. This first version of the FJ was a straight-winged jet, briefly operational during the transition to more successful designs. An evolution of the FJ-1 would become the land-based XP-86 prototype of the United States Air Force's enormously influential F-86 Sabre, which in turn formed the basis for the Navy's carrier-based, swept-winged North American FJ-2/-3 Fury.
