Grumman F7F "Tigercat" | F7F-4N

Navy night fighter development squadron VC(N)-1 F7F-4N on landing approach to CV-45 USS Vally Forge in early November of 1947.

F7F-4N problems experienced aboard ship were due to the Tigercats size and weight. Pilots found it comfortable and easy to fly on takeoff and during arrested landings.
