Ah yes, The infamous "Screamin' Demon". The Navy's only All-weather
Interceptor
that couldn't fly through a cloud without flaming out. It was powered by
the
"Drew Pearson engine" who's only claim to fame was that it was the
world's
most
efficient device for converting JP-4 into smoke and noise while producing
infinitesimal thrust.
Needless to say, I had a few hours in one.

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.

As Dave points out, this is not the Phantom I but the Demon. Two
entirely different aircraft.

The Demon, however was the design basis for the F-4 Phantom II, which
came a few years later.
