The F4U Corsair, produced originally by Chance Vought and later by Good year and Brewster, was a highly-respected carrier-capable fighter/bomber used during World War 2 and the Korean War. Over 12,000 were manufactured and used during those two wars.
The Japanese considered the F4U to be the most formidable American fighter in World War II, and the Corsair had an 11:1 kill ratio during that war. It was used both as a fighter and a fighter bomber, and because of its versatility it was a highly coveted aircraft.
