Credit to AntonWings for helping me with this project.

This project is dedicated to my great grandfather, who flew SBDs, F4Us, AD-1s, and much more from WWII to Korea.

The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft which saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Designed and initially manufactured by Chance Vought, the Corsair was soon in great demand; additional production contracts were given to Goodyear, whose Corsairs were designated FG, and Brewster, designated F3A.
