What is your source for these photos? I recognize many and those were taken from official U.S. Archives, and the originals taken by both the U.S. Navy and Grumman.

I wish people posting photos would always make an accreditation for their source. Not necessarily here, but much too often you see people claiming a copyright for photos which are actually in the Public Domain.

he Grumman XP-50 was a land-based development of the shipboard F5F-1 Skyrocket fighter. The Army Air Corps placed an order for a prototype on 25 November 1939 designating it XP-50. During testing in May 1941, the XP-50 prototype was lost in a turbo-supercharger explosion that destroyed the aircraft. The test pilot bailed out while the XP-50 plunged into Smithtown Bay in Long Island Sound
This model was tested at LaRC in September 1940.
