    Love the infographics. The Grumman Cats...The F111B was by General-Dynamics, not Grumman.

      Thank you for your comment. Wiki says "The F-111B was developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics in conjunction with Grumman for the U.S. Navy as part of the joint Tactical Fighter Experimental (TFX) with the United States Air Force (USAF) to produce a common fighter for the services that could perform a variety of missions.".
