Vought F4U Corsair - The Bent Wing Bird Port Authority Embroidered Polo Shirt

The Vought F4U Corsair, an American fighter aircraft that took the skies by storm during World War II and the Korean War, is a legend of aerial combat. With its distinctive inverted gull wing design, the Corsair was not only a beauty to behold but also a beast in battle. Operational from 1942 through the 1950s, it achieved a staggering kill ratio of 11:1. The Corsair served with distinction in the hands of U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and even the U.S. Coast Guard pilots, earning it nicknames like 'Whistling Death' and 'The Bent Wing Bird.' Its Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine propelled it to over 400 mph, making it one of the fastest aircraft of its time. The F4U Corsair became a symbol of American air power, featuring prominently in the Pacific Theater. Its legacy is celebrated in airshows around the globe, where its iconic silhouette and thunderous roar continue to captivate audiences.
