EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the sleek and powerful form of a Vought F7U-3 Cutlass taking off from the flight deck of the USS Midway (CV-41) during the 1950s. The Vought F7U-3 Cutlass, also known as the "Corsair II," was a carrier-based fighter and attack aircraft that served in the United States Navy and Marine Corps from 1950 to 1972. The F7U-3 Cutlass was a significant advancement in aviation technology, featuring a unique tractor-egg configuration engine, which allowed for improved thrust and reduced drag. Its distinctive inverted gull wing design provided excellent lift and maneuverability, making it a formidable force in the skies. In this image, we see the Cutlass taxing towards the end of the USS Midway's flight deck, ready for takeoff. The aircraft carrier, commissioned in 1945, was the longest-serving US Navy aircraft carrier of the mid-century, and this photograph showcases the impressive partnership between man and machine during the height of the Cold War era. The USS Midway provided a crucial platform for the deployment and operation of the F7U-3 Cutlass and other aircraft, enabling the United States to project power and defend its interests around the world. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity, courage, and determination of the men and women who served on these vessels and in the cockpits of these remarkable machines.
