Where was the Fighter Plane F-1 built?
There was no F-1 fighter plane. Shortly after WW2 American fighter designations went from 'P' to 'F' somewhere around F-83, F-84. ( However many aircraft designs were allocated 'F' numbers, then never went into service.) Shortly after this another change was decided, to name Air Force fighters starting with F-100. This was called the 'Century series'. Later still numbers went back to F-14. -To further confuse the whole issue, the US Navy insisted on it's own number system and named it's early jets 'F' with a letter. FJ1 Fury and FH1 Phantom were two of the first. Don't look for logic in this - there seemingly was none !
