F4U-4 Corsair USMC History:
The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was an American carrier-capable fighter aircraft used for combat during the World War 2 and Korean War. It first flew on May 29, 1940 and production was from 1940-1952. Corsairs served with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marines, Fleet Air Arm, and the Royal New Zealand Air Force, as well the French Navy Aeronavale and other services postwar. It quickly became the most capable carrier-based fighter-bomber of World War II. The F4U is powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800-8 18-cylinder Double Wasp two-row air-cooled radial engine generating 2,000hp.
The F4U-4 model of the Corsair was a one-seat patrol/interceptor plane. The F4U-4 was clocked at a top speed of 446 mph (717.75 kph) at 26,200 ft (7,985.76 m). The F4U-4 was about 10 mph faster than the P-51D at the altitude where the Mustang developed it’s highest speed. The F4U-4 entered service early in 1945. It stayed in service throughout the Korean War, where along with the F4U-5, it gained a sterling reputation for delivering ordnance with great accuracy. Indeed, the Corsair earned the respect of enemy pilots flying the MiG-15. Vought's Corsair was a fighter that could not be treated lightly. In a turning fight below 350 knots, the MiG pilot could find himself in big trouble very quickly.
