Good morning, BEags.
I was wondering about that when I wrote it last night. My doubt was what constituted a second generation jet. I wan't sure whether to call the Hunter and it's friends (MiG15, F-86, etc) first or second. IIRC, it was developed from the Sea Hawk, with its early protoype flying in the 40s. I guess it looks second gen and it was a replacement for the Meteor, so maybe amend my statement (which was rather broad anyway) to 'MOST' or 'A LOT' of second generation...
I was rambling anyway. Sorry.
I like Willard's answer best. Is that really true? Hand cranked, eh? I guess that saves on weight, system complexity and survivability, so good.
