Historical information about the F3H-2 Demon model

The McDonnell F3H-2 Demon was an American carrier-based fighter aircraft used mainly by the United States Navy (US Navy). The Demon entered service in the late 1950s, during the Cold War era, and was heavily used until the mid-1960s. The aircraft was recognized as the first US Navy fighter capable of carrying air-to-air missiles, including the famous AIM-7 Sparrow. The use of air brakes allowed for rapid speed reduction during carrier landings, which was crucial in deck operations.
