McDonnell Aircraft was established in St Louis in 1939, growing from 15 employees to 5000 by the end of WWII and taking over Curtiss-Wright facilities. The F2H Banshee was the first own design built in large numbers. Note the US Navy Inspection desk. The second aircraft, c/n 250 (BuNo 124953) is getting a nose and wings marked 249.
