This Sleek Naval Plane was one of the first to have advanced search and attack characteristics for the U.S Navy. This Twin engine fighter was also one of the first planes to use a trycycle landing gear.

The first two of these planes were made in the early 1940's. The plane also had multiple functions and was used as a Tactical Support unit, holding guns of the 50 caliber radius.It also carried many bombs, torpedoes and rockets. It could still reach an amusing speed of 450 mph.

Later in history, the Tigercats were used as nightfighters, pictured to the left is one of them. The plane's value remained strong, and in the early 1970's was often used to fight forest fires.
