    Description

    A period, circa 1946 starboard profile view of the Vought F6U Pirate Jet Fighter Photo. that measures 11 x 14. Matte finish.
    It was the Vought Company's first jet fighter, designed for the U.S. Navy during the mid 1940s.
    Although pioneering the use of turbojet power as the first naval fighter with an afterburner and composite material construction, the aircraft proved to be underpowered and was judged unsuitable for combat. 33 were produced. They were relegated to development, training, and test roles before they were withdrawn from service in 1950.
    The first two images are correct, the close-ups are too white. The condition is good. Slight crease lower right corner and a small white mar just under the exhaust.
