The Grumman F3H-2 Demon is an American carrier-based jet fighter, which made its debut in the second half of the 1950s during the Cold War era. It served as the primary equipment of the US Navy aviation until the early 1960s, before being replaced by more modern aircraft, including the F-4 Phantom II.
