The F4U-1 Corsair was a powerful American carrier-based fighter aircraft used primarily during World War II. Instantly recognizable by its inverted gull wing design, the Corsair was equipped with a massive 2,000-horsepower engine and a top speed of over 400 mph. It excelled in both air-to-air combat and ground attack missions, earning a fearsome reputation among enemy pilots. Initially challenging to land on carriers, it found early success with Marine squadrons from land bases. As pilots mastered its quirks, the Corsair became a dominant force in the Pacific, boasting one of the highest kill-to-loss ratios of the war.
