EDITORS COMMENTS
1958: A United States Marine Corps North American FJ-4B Fury, with the unit code WP and call sign 18, of Marine Attack Squadron 223 (VMA-223), is seen parked at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro in this evocative photograph. The FJ-4B Fury, serial number 143497, was a versatile and powerful jet aircraft used extensively by the USMC for the attack and fighter roles. This particular Fury, a part of the squadron's fleet, met its unfortunate end on May 27, 1959, when it was written off in a crash. The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are not documented in the available records, leaving the cause of the accident a mystery. The FJ-4B Fury was an essential component of the USMC's aviation arsenal during the late 1950s, providing the Marines with a formidable and adaptable platform for various missions. The Fury's advanced capabilities, including its ability to carry a variety of weapons and its high-performance engine, made it an invaluable asset to the USMC's fleet. This photograph captures the Fury in its prime, standing proudly at El Toro Air Station, a testament to the Marines' commitment to maintaining their fleet and readiness for action. Despite the tragic end that awaited this specific aircraft, the FJ-4B Fury continued to serve the USMC with distinction for many years to come. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the history of the United States Marine Corps and the vital role that aviation played in their operations during the late 1950s. The FJ-4B Fury, with its powerful presence and unwavering dedication, remains an enduring symbol of the USMC's rich aviation heritage.
