A carrier-based fighter first flown in January of 1947, the F2H Banshee served both the Marines and Navy from 1948-1961. It was particularly prolific during the Korean War where its admirable performance at high altitude led to its usage as a USAF bomber escort plane. It also flew numerous recon missions during the war, equipped with six high-powered cameras.
