Re: Rudolph Daniel VAN DYKE, Jr (86105)

Hi George

You say the aircraft was a plain F8F-1 while all my sources claim it was one of two prototypes
for the F8F-1N.

Not sure about X in front since only Rich and one other source says that.

The other prototype was BuNo 94812.
Now if BuNo 94819 was just a plain F8F-1 which was thus the second (X)F8F-1N?

Cheers
Stig
