The aircraft is a McDonnell Demon fighter. McDonnell built the Phantom
and Banshee before the Demon. The F-4 Phantom II followed it in
production for the USN. The FH-1 Phantom was the 1st American jet
fighter designed for carriers. The FH-2 Banshee was a second generation
carrier fighter and fought in Korea. The F3H Demon was McDonnell's
first swept wing Navy fighter. The original Demon got a poor
Westinghouse engine and was redesigned for a larger Allison engine.
This version was produced in quantity and eventually armed with
Sidewinder and Sparrow missiles. It was replaced by the F4 Phantom II
as an interceptor.
