The Vought F4U-4 Corsair is an iconic American fighter aircraft that roared into the skies during World War II and continued its service into the Korean War. Known for its distinctive gull-wing design, the F4U-4 variant brought more power and performance to the Corsair family with its Pratt & Whitney R-2800-18W radial engine. Operational from 1944, it became a formidable force in the Pacific, serving with the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and even the U.S. Coast Guard. The Corsair was feared by its adversaries, earning the nickname 'Whistling Death' for its unique sound during dives. This aircraft was not only a beast in air-to-air combat but also excelled in ground attack roles. Its legacy is marked by its speed, agility, and the tales of heroism associated with its pilots. The F4U-4 Corsair remains a symbol of American airpower and a testament to the engineering and bravery that defined a generation.
