  The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War.
  Designed and initially manufactured by Chance Vought, the Corsair was soon in great demand;
   additional production contracts were given to Goodyear, whose Corsairs were designated FG, and Brewster, designated F3A.
  The Corsair was designed and principally operated as a carrier-based aircraft, and entered service in large numbers
  with the U.S. Navy and Marines in World War II. It quickly became one of the most capable carrier-based fighter-bombers
  of the war.[3] Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter and U.S. naval aviators
  achieved an 11:1 kill ratio.[4][5] Early problems with carrier landings and logistics led to it being eclipsed
  as the dominant carrier-based fighter by the Grumman F6F Hellcat, powered by the same Double Wasp engine first
  flown on the Corsair's initial prototype in 1940.[6] The Corsair's early deployment was to land-based squadrons
  of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy.
