Decal
The FBF Bearcat was the last of Grumman's piston-engine carrier-based
fighters. Two XFSF-I prototypes were ordered in November 1943, and the first of
these was flown on 21 August '1944. Grumman decided once again to utilize the
most powerful engine available at the time, the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double
Wasp -- the same engine that had powered both their Hellcat and Tigercat designs.
This time, the engine was fitted to the smallest, lightest airframe thai could be built.
This resulted in a highly maneuverable, fast airplane with a rate of climb 30%
