HISTORY: Tigercats, another of the Navy’s fighters produced in World War II but never saw action in that conflict and was quickly replaced by jet power. The Tigercat was a twin-engine, tricycle landing gear, carrier-based plane with greater air-to-ground capability than was normal in a Navy aircraft designated fighter. The Navy awarded Grumman the initial contract for the F7F in June 1941. The plane first flew on 3 November 1943. VMF-911 and VMF(N)-531 took the initial deliveries in January 1944. Some F7Fs saw land-based action with the Marine Corps in Korea. On 31 January 1954, VJ-62 reported a F7F-3N and -4N, the last time Tigercats were reported in squadron. A total of 364 were accepted.
