The Grumman F8F Bearcat is an American single-engined, carrier-based, fighter aircraft introduced in late World War Two. It served during the mid-20th century in the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corps, and the air forces of other nations. It was Grumman Aircraft's last piston-engined fighter aircraft. Modified versions of the Bearcat have broken speed records for piston-engined aircraft. Today, the Bearcat is popular among warbird owners and air racers. Illustrated with over 220 images, this book explores the history of this amazing aircraft.
