VFA-19 "MARINES DREAM" F4U CORSAIR
Description:
Development of the Corsair began in 1938, when the US Navy issued a request for
a new single-seat carrier-based fighter. The Chance-Vought company won the
contract with their unique, gull-winged airframe pulled by the largest engine
then available. The wing design was necessitated by the tall landing gear which
was, in turn, necessitated by the huge propeller required to propel the plane at
the desired high speeds.
