Historical description:

The Vought F4U Corsair is one of the most formidable fighters of World War II. Designed for the U.S. Navy, this aircraft was introduced in 1942 and quickly gained a reputation as a formidable adversary in the aerial battles of the Pacific. Thanks to its powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine, the Corsair could reach speeds of over 700 km/h, making it superior to many enemy aircraft.

The F4U-1D model, introduced in 1944, was optimized for ground attack missions, with the capability to carry bombs and rockets, in addition to its six .50 caliber machine guns. The Corsair was also used by U.S. Navy and Marine Corps units for operations from aircraft carriers, demonstrating its versatility and toughness. It became a symbol of American air power and continued to serve during the Korean War.
