The great success of the F86 Sabre in the Korean War led the US Navy to contract North American Aviation to navalise the type. This would have led to an exceptional carrier aircraft if it wasn't for the US Navy's project office. Their ideas about how to aim the Sabre's cannons led to one of the least useful aircraft ever deployed on a US carrier deck.

Major Sources:

"FJ Fury In Detail And Scale" is an excellent book and one of the few on the type

"FJ Fury In Action" by Jim Mesko is a good read but somewhat showing its age in terms of presentation... if you can even find a copy these days

...I'd say the same about "Naval Fighters Number Ten: North American FJ2 Fury" by Steve Ginter
