About Me
- Tailspin
- Mystic, Connecticut
- In 1956, at age 12, I lived on NAS Sangley Point in the Philippine Islands. Always enamored with airplanes, I imprinted on the Cougars, Banshees, and Skyraiders then being deployed. Not able to be a Naval Aviator because I was nearsighted, I instead became an aeronautical engineer and general aviation pilot. Now retired, I write books and monographs on U.S. Navy aircraft.

Does this book cover all variants of the F7U Cutlass, since the mention of F7U-3 rather than simply F7U in the title bears in mind the fact that only 14 examples of the F7U-1 baseline production variant were built and the F7U-2 was unbuilt? Is there a chapter or section of this book that discusses the A2U attack version of the Cutlass along with the V-389 single-engine derivative of the V-389, since I'd like to thank Bill Spidle for alerting me online to rare photos of the first A2U aircraft under construction?
This book covers all variants of the F7U-3 including a chapter on the A2U-1. The preceding F7U-1/2 program is described in detail in a Steve Ginter publication: https://thanlont.blogspot.com/2012/11/f7u-1-cutlass.html
Looking forward to it as I know some of the work that went into it. Can't think of two better Authors for this effort!
..if the 'gutless' Cutlass is 'famous' then I'm a Dutchman!
I attended your seminar at the IPMS/USA Nationals and got to say you have laid out quite a tasty appetizer for this book! I can't wait to read it.

Looking forward to it!
I'm conducting an independent family research project about Naval Aviation photographers in the Pacific Theater. There was a photo in an older blog that came across my research as well and I was wondering if you had any information about its source or the creator of the photo. This is pretty integral to the entire project and it would be a huge help. Would love to correspond further. Thank you.
I probably don't but what was the photo?
Great
Crecy is now indicating Summer 2024 as publication date. F7U-3 is a favorite. Will we have to wait until then?
Crećy may move the date up once we submit the text and illustrations in mid-January.
Tommy, I’m looking forward to reading this book, but now Crecy indicates 30 Sept for release. Is that real, or will it be delayed yet again? Thanks for any update.
Al and I just finished reviewing a proof and have returned our comments. 30 Sepember looks good.
I recently went to the Crecy website and it lists the F7U-3 book as now in stock. I've pre-ordered by copy of this book and I'm expecting it to be shipped soon.
