Einsatzgeschichte |
|
|
The Grumman Panther served
with distinction in the Korean War, downing two Yak-9s and five
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15s with a loss of one F9F. The type was
the primary Navy jet fighter and ground-attack aircraft in the Korean
conflict. Panthers were withdrawn from front-line service in 1956, but
remained in training roles and with Reserve units until 1958, some
continuing to serve in small numbers into the 1960s.

Die Grumman Panther diente mit
Auszeichnung im Korea-Krieg, und schossen
zwei Yak-9 und fünf Mikojan-Gurewitsch MiG-15 ab mit einem Verlust von einer
F9F. Der Typ war der primäre Düsenjäger und Jagdbomber der Navy im
Korea-Konflikt. Die Panthers wurden 1956 von den Frontstaffeln
zurückgezogen, blieben aber in der Ausbildung- und den Reserve-Einheiten bis
1958, einige wenige sogar bis in die 1960er Jahre im Dienst. |
