Ginter Books – Grumman F11F-1F Supertiger 044

The J79-powered Mach 2 Supertiger derivative of the F-11F was developed into a world-class performer and was marketed as such. It impressed the foreign aviators who tested it so much that it became their first choice. That is, until the political-financial giant known as Lockheed wielded its weight worldwide. Lockheed’s F-104 eventually dominated world sales but was never a safe and sane choice, as history would prove.
