History of the F4U Corsair Navy Ike Kepford

Introduced on December 28, 1942, the F4U Corsair was built by the Chance Vought company. The carrier-capable fighter plane primarily served in World War II and the Korean War. It was regarded as the most fearsome American aircraft by some Japanese pilots. Because of its good reputation, demands increased greatly that Goodyear and Brewster started producing Corsairs, too. Produced between 1940 and 1952, 12,571 Corsairs were built. Its successor was the F2G Super Corsair aircraft. The F4U was the first US Navy aircraft to feature fully-retractable landing gear in a similar manner to that of the Curtiss P-40 in that the oleo struts rotated through 90 degrees during retraction.

The F4U Corsair' first variant had a wingspan of 12.5m, height of 4.9m, and length of 10.1m. Powered by a Pratty & Whitney R-2800-8W radial engine, it could reach a maximum speed of 425 mph. It carried four .50 caliber M2 Browning machine guns, four rockets or up to 2,000 lbs of bombs.
