This is the comprehensive story of some of the most radical attack
aircraft ever designed to operate from an aircraft carrier. These
incredible projects were developed in 1948 to equip the USS United
States, an immense 65,000-ton supercarrier that was to have been
the core of the Navy's nascent strategic nuclear bombardment
capability. Legendary aerospace companies such as Convair,
Curtiss-Wright, Douglas, Fairchild, Lockheed, Martin, North
American, Northrop, and Republic would each submit proposals to the
competitions. Varying widely in appearance, these studies ranged
from Douglas's relatively small and modern Model 593 to their
unconventional Model 1186 series, which was inspired by the X-3
Stiletto and featured a small parasite aircraft mounted atop a
gigantic missile. Recently declassified, details of these
fascinating projects are presented here for the first time.
