Best Naval Fighter, 1963 by
Charles Talleyrand
What's the best naval fighter of 1963? The mission is pure air defense, with not a pound for air to ground.
Not suprisingly, most web sites talk about modern planes and don't describe the tactics and equipment of this era.

Also why not market the C-17 to the air freight community?
This has been mooted, either as is or in a civil variant, at various
