The SP-2H was the final derivative of the Neptune; and was the only production model to be equipped with under wing jet pods. The Neptune saw action as late as the Vietnam War.

My sincere gratitude to the Office of the Director of the museum for its kind permission for me to display this photo of their painting on this site.
