Al or Murray may know this for sure but I believe the concentric circle on these aircraft denotes them as naval fleet aircraft. Pep may also know and will definitely berate me if I am wrong lol......

Sometimes the circle may indicate which field of operation, but more often than not it is the symbol of which country the aircraft is operational for.

Hey... no shame here Randy... My forte` is not aircraft but i do like to guess and occasionally I do recognize the odd one. Grumman XF5F-1. Otherwise known as the Grumman Skyrocket.

If I'm not mistaken I think it was an old prototype

In my experience hard to stump an engineer. A engineering tech maybe, but not a real engineer.

That one should be able to take off twice as fast with twice the lift.

The design team discussion... "well, in theory, we think it might work". Theory, think and might in once sentence is always a recipe for disaster.
