The F-5G / F-20 Tigershark; Northrop’s Bane
CORRECTION: The F-5A/B were not 'Tigers'. they were 'Freedom Fighters'. The F-5C, used by the USAF in Vietnam, was the 'Skoshi Tiger', which led on to the F-5E being called the 'Tiger II'. My bad.
Still a controversial fighter, the Northrop F-20 had it all - on paper at least.
An extremely capable aircraft, built to a US government specification, it could have been a one of the world's primary fighter aircraft even today.
But the vagaries of government policy and various machinations means that the F-20 never made it - making it possibly the biggest "what-if?" fighter in history.
