The Boeing XF8B (Model 400) was a single-engine multi-purpose fighter that never advanced beyond the prototype stage. First flew in 1944, it was cancelled shortly as the war ended. The engine was an R-4600. The performance stats were impressive for the time.

WASP pilot Ruth Dailey climbing into a Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter aircraft, 28 November 1944. We couldn't have won the war without the woman building the planes and flying them to the depots.

... as far as I am concerned, and in regards to this wonderful thread, , the Korean Peace Keeping Action ( the US has not declared WAR since December 7, 1941) was simply a WW2 Asian Front action that was, nonetheless, monumental war, by the standards of the German-Russian war and the Pacific campaign US-Japan: eg ... the Marines at Chosin Reservoir, the naval close air suppirt, Mig Alley battles and the B-29 raids, day then night etc. etc.

Korea was a taste of what was yet to come ... public rejection of war .... denial to the military of 'best options' by the politicians ... impeachment ... Harry Truman was crucified for firing MacArthur and suffered the same kind of abuse that Trump endures. The Republicans moved to impeach the President.

History has vindicated Harry Truman, IMO .... he made hard decisions and never lost faith in himself.

Let's include Korea more often on this thread .... it should be celebrated as the Final Act .... of WW2.
