F7F Tigercat (an untold story) by Corky H. Meyer
 
To say figuring out when the first flight of the Grumman F7F Tigercat was difficult was an understatement. The sources I believe to be the most authoritative turned out to be vague. For the most part they said the date of the first flight was sometime in December of 1943. It wasn’t until I read this forum post from WarThunder.com were most of my questions answered. I highly #recommend reading the whole post since it was originally written by one of the test pilots that flew the Tigercat. It was apparently originally published in the magazine “Flight Journal”.
