EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the spirit of collaboration between the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) during the era of the North American FJ-4B Fury jet trainer. The image features aircraft 141484, bearing base code 7R and call sign "55," of the combined Navy-Marines reserve flying training school. The FJ-4B Fury, manufactured by North American Aviation, was initially introduced in the late 1950s as a fleet defense fighter and trainer for the USN and USMC. By the early 1960s, the FJ-4B had been re-designated as the AF-1E Skyknight, marking its transition to an all-weather fighter-bomber role. However, it continued to serve as a valuable trainer for the USN and USMC throughout the decade. In this photograph, the FJ-4B Fury is seen taxing on the runway, its distinctive tail fin adorned with the USMC Eagle, Globe, and Anchor insignia. The aircraft's sleek lines and powerful engines embody the cutting-edge technology of the time, while the presence of both USN and USMC personnel underscores the close partnership between the two branches of the military. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of military aviation during the Cold War era, when the USN and USMC worked together to prepare the next generation of pilots for combat missions. Circa 1960.
