About the Corsair:
The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was a fighter aircraft that saw service in World War II and the Korean War. Goodyear-built Corsairs were designated FG and Brewster-built aircraft F3A.
In 1942 production of the Corsair began, a lightweight fighter paired with the most powerful engine then available. It was used successfully as a carrier-based fighter bomber by the US Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific during World War 2. It had a distinctive front profile with its inverted gull-wings, necessary to give enough ground clearance for the large propeller. This A total of 12,681 Corsairs were produced.
