Lurking at the bottom of a wooden chest in my late dad's shed was a pile of Recognition Journals from '59 - '61 in surprisingly good condition. I was blown away by some of the pics inside them so thought some of you might be too. 1959 was the year Northrop unveiled the Freedom Fighter so it tends to figure prominently. Back then it was otherwise known as the YF-156! I think the last five would come under the well - hung category. Who 'd have thought the little F-5 could carry so much Ordnance eh Paddyboy!
