The McDonnell Banshee was a conservative and significantly larger derivative of the Phantom with much larger and more reliable jet engines. This photo is of the first prototype on January 10, 1947. It carried the old-style designation of XF2D-1.

The second experimental Banshee on May 27, 1949 had the new designation of XF2H-1.
