EAA is saddened by the death of WWII Navy ace Don M. McPherson. Don piloted the F6F Hellcat across the Pacific theater including Iwo Jima, the Philippines, and Okinawa. It was a true honor to hear his stories firsthand at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2021.

Fagen Fighters WWII Museum’s F6F-5 Hellcat bears the same livery Don flew in combat, a tribute to his service and bravery.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Grumman F9F Cougar was essentially the swept-wing development of the straight-wing F9F Panther, created to keep pace with the swept-wing Soviet MiG-15s and USAF F-86 Sabre.

Total built: 1,392 Cougars

Marked the U.S. Navy’s transition from straight-wing to swept-wing carrier jets.
