The Grumman Panther was the primary U.S. Navy and USMC jet fighter and ground-attack aircraft in the Korean War. The Panther was the most widely used U.S. Navy jet fighter of the Korean War, flying 78,000 sorties. F9F-2s, F9F-3s and F9F-5s, were rugged attack aircraft, they were able to sustain operations even in the face of intense anti-aircraft fire. The pilots also appreciated the air conditioned cockpit, which was a wonderful change from the humid environment of piston-engine aircraft. Despite their relative slow crusing speed, four MiG-15s were downed on 18 November 1952 by Lt. Royce Williams of
VF-781, flying off the carrier Oriskany during a series of air strikes against the North Korean port of Hoeryong, right across the mouth of the Yalu River from the major Soviet base at Vladivostok. Williams' victories were notable because all four were flown by Soviet Naval Aviation pilots.
