A Big Step On The Path To Greatness
With A Highly Complex P&Amp;W R-2800 Engine Generating 2,000Hp, A 4-Meter Propeller And Striking Gull Wings, The Corsair Was Certainly A Memorable Aircraft; It Was Effective, Too, And Was One Of The Mainstays Of The U.S. Navy. The F4U-1A Variant Was Assigned To Units From Summer 1943, And Featured Upgrades Such As A Semi-Bubble Canopy (To Improve Previously Limited Visibility), Plus The Ability To Carry Bombs Of Up To 1,000Lb. It Saw A Large Amount Of Action In Fighting With The Japanese Navy Around The Solomon Islands; The Corsair Continued To Serve Through The Korean War In The Guise Of Further Variants, The Bomber Capability Pioneered By The F4U-1A Proving A Most Effective Addition To The Aircraft’S Inherent Ability.
