The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was a carrier-capable fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the
Korean War. Demand for the aircraft soon overwhelmed Vought’s manufacturing capability, resulting in production by
Goodyear and Brewster: Goodyear-built Corsairs were designated FG and Brewster-built aircraft F3A. From the first
prototype delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940, to final delivery in 1953 to the French, 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured by
Vought, in 16 separate models, in the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in U.S. history (1942–1953).The
Corsair served in the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marines, Fleet Air Arm and the Royal New Zealand Air Force,as well as the French Navy
Aéronavaleand other, smaller, air forces until the 1960s. It quickly became the most capable carrier-based fighter-bomber of
World War II. Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II, and the U.S. Navy
counted an 11:1 kill ratio with the F4U Corsair. As well as being an outstanding fighter, the Corsair proved to be an excellent
fighter-bomber, serving almost exclusively in the latter role throughout the Korean War and during the French colonial wars in
Indochina and Algeria.

paint scheme, are already applied for you. A pair of 90 degree rotating landing gear and the easily mounted oil tanks, a set of

for high-speed strafing runs and spirited sport aerobatics.
