Wikipedia: The
Douglas F4D Skyray (later redesignated
F-6 Skyray) was an American
carrier-based fighter/
interceptor built by the
Douglas Aircraft Company. Although it was in service for a relatively short time and never entered combat, it was the first
carrier-launched aircraft to hold the world's absolute speed record, at 752.943 mph,
[1] and was the first
United States Navy and
United States Marine Corps fighter that could exceed
Mach 1 in level flight. It was the last fighter produced by the
Douglas Aircraft Company before it merged with
McDonnell Aircraft and became
McDonnell Douglas. The
F5D Skylancer was an advanced development of the F4D Skyray that did not go into service.
