De Noord-Amerikaanse FJ-4 Fury was a swept-wing carrier-capable fighter-bomber for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The final development in a lineage that included the Air Force’s F-86 Sabre, the FJ-4 shared its general layout and engine with the earlier FJ-3, but featured an entirely new wing design and was a vastly different design in its final embodiment.

The North American FJ-4 Fury was a single-seat carrier-based fighter-bomber developed by North American Aviation in the 1950s. It was a variant of the F-86 Sabre jet fighter, with a longer fuselage, larger wing area, increased fuel capacity, and improved aerodynamics. The FJ-4 was designed to meet the US Navy’s requirement for a long-range, high-performance attack aircraft that could carry a variety of weapons, including nuclear bombs. The FJ-4 entered service in 1956 and served until 1962, when it was replaced by the A-4 Skyhawk. The FJ-4 was also exported to Venezuela and Japan, where it was used as a trainer and interceptor. The FJ-4 was the last and most advanced version of the Fury series, which also included the FJ-1, FJ-2, and FJ-3 models.
