Historical Significance The Grumman F9F Panther was the first jet-powered aircraft by Grumman, extensively used by the US Navy and Marine Corps during the Korean War. This single-engine carrier fighter featured permanently mounted wing tip fuel tanks, armed with four 20 mm cannons, and a variety of air-to-ground munitions. The "Blue-Tail Fly" gained its name from the Southern folk song "Jimmy Crack Corn." Lt. Richard Clinite's Panther, after sustaining heavy flak damage, had its tail replaced with one from a blue-painted Panther, giving it a distinctive look. Lt. Clinite successfully flew several missions with this aircraft until it was permanently grounded due to severe flak damage.
