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.
