The Demon is one of the most over- looked fighters of it's era.
Not many know that it's the real fahter of the F-4 Phantom...
In the mean time some photos of the bird which is rather
big plane of about 18 meters or the same as the early models
of the Phantom excluding the E model which is 19.2 meters long.
The Demon is the 3 rd missing plane if we count the Cutlass and
Skyray as 1st and 2nd as they represent a part of naval aviation
history which is not fully known as the Vietnam era that arrived
a couple of years later. The last Demon squadron was retired in 1964
some months before the Tonkin incident which triggered the start
of the Vietnam 8 years conflict.
There is a big simillarity between the demon and the Phantom
as the nose radome and beaver tail resembles the F-4 Phantom
fuselage but with only one engine.
