Bent Wing Legend
The F4U Corsair was a WWII American fighter aircraft that was
distinguished by its inverted gull wing design, which accomodated the 4m
diameter propeller without having to resort to overly long landing gear
legs. Its Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp engine produced 2,000hp and
allowed the Corsair to reach a maximum speed of 636km/h. Among the
different variants of the Corsair, the F4U-1 was the first to be
mass-produced and it featured a characteristic framed canopy that was
referred to as a "Birdcage." They were deployed to the Pacific in
February 1943 and became feared by Japanese forces due to their speed
and firepower. A nightfighter version, designated F4U-2, was also
created and featured a radar pod mounted near the wingtip of the right
wing. Over 9,000 examples were produced and they were used by American,
British, and New Zealand forces.
