The first jet plane landed on an aircraft carrier 6 November 1945. The plane was a US Navy Ryan FR-1 Fireball piloted by Ensign Jake C. West, and the carrier was the Casablanca-class escort carrier USS Wake Island.The FR-1 was a 'composite' aircraft with both a forward radial engine and a rear turbojet. It was intended to take off and land using the radial engine, as early jet engines were poorly suited to carrier operations.
