1944: Another prototype is tested along with the F8F to test turboprops and low speed swept wings. 10 are made to fight in the pacific 2 others are made and given to France and England for testing, the US almost emediately abandoned it after the war due to the better performance of the brand new A-1 Skyraider. make sure to use yaw to correct plane during takeoff due to weight imbalance.
