Initial difficulties and later history

     The Corsair's service and production life are unrivalled,except perhaps by the F-4 Phantom,but
this disguises the fact that it did not have an easy start.
     Prototype XF4U-1 fist flew on 29 May 1940 and the fist production aircraft left the assembly line
on 25 June 1942.The US Navy initially rejected the aircraft because it was (and would remain) an unforgiving plane to fly.The aft positioned of the cockpit considerable impaired visibility during landing,which was uncomfortable at the best of times.The gull wing design and torque of the large engines gave the F4U a tendency to get into a curve that was difficult to control as it left the flight deck.Landing accidents mounted and the Corsair proved a nightmare for inexperienced pilots.In order to improve the aircraft's flying characteristics,the two airlerons were eventually increased in size.The type eventually entered service with US Navy in February 1943 and quickly won air superiority above the pacific.The Corsair.

Gull Wing Design

                                                           GULL WING DESIGN

 In 1938 the Bureau of Aeronautics invited tenders for a new high-performance single seat fighter for the US Navy's carrier fleet.Rex B. Beisel, chief designer of the Texan Chance Vought  Corporation, explored the idea  of achieving maximum speed via minimun drag.His basic approach was to combine
the most powerful engine available with an extremely slender fuselage and the largest possible propeller.In order to prevent the Hamilton Standard triple-blade propeller from striking the ground or carrier deck when taking off or landing,an invented gull wing design was selected.The landing gear was   positioned directly beneath the kink in the wings and retracted backwards 90 degrees into the wing.The  new Pratt & Whitney  R-2800-8 Double Wasp double row radial engine was chosen,not least because Chance Vought  and Pratt & Whitney were both owned by United Aircraft Corporation.

Distinctive noise led the Japanese to give it the nickname "Whistling Death".
     A sixth of the entire F4U production went to the Royal Navy,which also deployed its Corsair on carriers in the pacific.The type was seldom used in Europe.
     The Corsair was successful that it continued to be used in the Korean War,predominantly  - and successfully -in a ground attack role.It was able to carry bomb loads that would have been unthinkable for the first US jets.But it was also effective against jets.On 8 November 1950,navy pilots W.T.Amen shot down a MiG-15 in his F4U.

The Corsair was the first single-engined fighter with a power output

of over 1,492KW (2,000 hp) and the first US plane to exceed 650 KM/h

(400 mph).This carrier borne and land-based single-seat fighter remained

in service with the US forces from 1943 until the Korean War.The last

F4U was supplied in 1952 and withdrawn from active service in December

1954.It remained in service with smaller air-forces,however,until the

end of 1960s.
