The
F8F Bearcat was the last
of Grumman's piston-engine carrier-based fighters. Two XF8F-1 prototypes were ordered in November 1943, and the
first of these was flown on 21 August 1944. Grumman decided once again to
utilize the most powerful engine available at the time, the Pratt & Whitney
R-2800 Double Wasp -- the same engine that had powered both their Hellcat and
Tigercat designs. This time, the engine was fitted to the smallest, lightest
airframe that could be built. This resulted in a highly maneuverable, fast
airplane with a rate of climb 30% greater than the Hellcat.
