McDonnell's Phantom was a major
McDonnell's Phantom was a major success for the company, despite its limited capabilities and small production run. It proved that a jet could be a useful carrier fighter and that McDonnell could make a combat aircraft. Their next attempt was the best of the straight winged carrier fighters: The Banshee.
This video covers the original 'short fuselage' Banshees, with particular focus on Korea.
Sources:
Steve Ginter's "Naval Fighters Number Two: McDonnell Banshee" provided useful background
"FH Phantom/F2H Banshee In Action" by Jim Mesko has excellent photos and diagrams alongside tight text describing the aircraft
"F2H Banshee Units" by Rick Burgess contains some interesting anecdotes from Korea and is in general well written, easy to read and still in print!
I also referred to the the 1954 version of "Pilots Handbook For Navy Model F2H-1 Aircraft" and 1951 version of "Pilots Handbook For Navy Model F2H-2, -2N and -2P Aircraft"
