“The Ryan FR Fireball was a composite propeller and jet-powered aircraft designed by Ryan Aeronautical for the United States Navy during World War II. The FR-1 Fireball entered service before the end of the war, but did not see combat. The Fireball was the United States Navy’s first aircraft with jet propulsion.”

Every Navy pilots dream is to fly a plane called “Fireball” off of aircraft carriers during the largest, most violent war in human history.
