EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black-and-white photograph captures the sleek and innovative design of the McDonnell Douglas YF4H-1 Phantom pre-production model, which set an absolute world speed record of 1,606 mph in 1961. Lt. Col. Robert B. Robinson was at the controls of this experimental aircraft during its record-breaking flight. The YF4H-1 Phantom, also known as the Phantom II, was a two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather fighter aircraft developed for the United States Navy (USN) by McDonnell Douglas. This pre-production model, with its unusual design and distinctive tail, was a significant departure from traditional aircraft designs of the time. Its unconventional appearance was a result of its advanced features, including variable sweep wings and a unique canard configuration. The YF4H-1 Phantom was not only a groundbreaking military aircraft but also paved the way for the development of civil and transport aircraft with similar innovative features. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and boldness of the aerospace industry during the 1960s, a time when record-breaking feats and unusual designs were the norm. The image, taken in 1961, shows the YF4H-1 Phantom in its raw, pre-production form, before it was fully refined and put into service with the USN. The aircraft's powerful engines and streamlined shape are evident, making it a true marvel of engineering and design. This photograph is a reminder of the past, a glimpse into the history of aviation, and a tribute to the pioneering spirit that continues to drive the industry forward.
