The Bearcat that came a bit late for The Big One was the best of the prop driven Grummans.

Ah...yes...the Bearcat! A beautiful plane, but seemed somewhat...how do I say...high strung?

I always wondered how it would have done in real combat. I saw the accident in Oshkosh a few years back, when the Bearcat collided with the Corsair...made me sick to see that.

First they replaced my big iron computers with IBM PCs that ran the same programs in minutes instead of hours. Then they sank my ship, the USS America. Now this. I'm officially old. That, and I got bifocals a few months ago.
