Thanks for the ping!
I love them!
hrmn.... since the Navy never bought any of these birds (in fact, neither xf5u ever flew), would the Navy have any info on them at all?
Also, the NARA magazine Prologue had an article on Vought:
Prologue, Volume 35: 2003, 4-17
Well, they might. There might be some correspondence related to the aircraft as well as some technical info. They key is finding a good finding aid; the National Archives publishes some really goods ones.
how the f[beep!] are you finding all of this.
also, how do you get the site do open the damned records rather than just list grouping headers?
How are you two doing tonight?
Well, the Navy had paid for the prototypes (they have a USN designation) so there will likely be records in the Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer) records.
"how the f[beep!] are you finding all of this." - years of experience as a researcher.
The site, currently, will not open a whole record group because each group can have literally tens of thousands of pages of documents. Those groups heading help narrow your search.
I am well, and you?
I think part of the problem might be that I don't know a damn thing about Navy equipment procurement, or their bureaucratic organization
up too late, hankering for waffles, otherwise I am quite well. you?
This book might help (Part II has infor on procurement-related records):
Guide to Records Relating to US Military Participation in World War II
Compiled by Timothy P. Mulligan
This series of guides identifies and describes the activities of the many military agencies that had a role in World War II. Although these materials emphasize the period December 1941 - September 1945, extensive documentation of the interwar and pre-Pearl Harbor periods is also included.
These topical guides each represent the activities of a broad range of agencies, and the records are drawn from many record groups. Thus, these guides make accessible a large body of records that were not readily accessible before.
Part I: Policy Planning, Administration
This first volume includes records that cover such topics as formulation of strategy; personnel matters associated with the war; financial matters, including acquisition of land for military installations; legislative issues; and mobilization and training of US military and naval personnel.

Part II: Support and Supply
