Berliner-Joyce XF3J-1

Designed by the US Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, turned over to the Berliner-Joyce Corporation for development and construction and ordered on 30 June 1932, the XF3J-1 experimental single-seat shipboard fighter was completed in January 1934. Of all-metal construction with a semi-monocoque fuselage and fabric-covered wings, the XF3J-1 was powered by a 625hp Wright XR-1510-26 radial and carried an armament of two 7.62mm synchronised machine guns. Provision was made for two 50kg bombs beneath the wings. Although offering a good performance, the XF3J-1 was surpassed by the Grumman XF2F-1, and no further development was undertaken.

In 1930 Berliner-Joyce was purchased by North American Aviation and first became a subsidiary and, later, became completely absorbed, so that the name disappeared. In 1934 Berliner left North American to work for The Engineering and Research Corporation (makers of the famous "Ercoupe") while Joyce left to work for Bellanca.
