Photo Comment
Developed as an expendable fuel carrying glider. The XFG-1 had a forward swept wing and no tailplane. The first prototype spun in during testing. The photo is of the second aircraft which was scrapped in 1947. Photo by: Larry De Haan / Smithsonian Institution This photo was added on 23 July 2023, and has since been viewed 364 times.
