“By the time you see this magazine, many of the new swept-wing Grumman Cougar Jets will be in operation.
According to the Navy, the performance of these carrier-based high speed jets is fully equal to that of the Russian-made MIG 15. They will replace the Navy-piloted Grumman Panthers which played such an impressive role in the Korean war.”
