The history behind the corsair was performance! The way this was achieved was by using biggest engine of the time ( the Pratt and Whitney R-2800 double wasp) ,the biggest propeller (hence the gull wings) and the smallest ,most aerodynamic airframe they could create which could still hold the engine of course.
