The F4U-1 Corsair was one of the greatest combat Aircraft of World War II. Development of this Navy fighter began in 1938, the first prototype flying on May 29,1940. It was the first U.S. Fighter to exceed 400 mph, out performing all other American Aircraft at that time. From the first production F4U-1 to the last F4u6 built 10 years later, 12,551 Corsairs came off the Production Line. 
The F4u-1 Corsair has a Wingspan of 41', a Length of 33'4" and stands 15'7" High. 
The plane weighed 8,982 pounds empty, with a maximum take off weight of 10,500lbs.

Entering action in 1943 the land based U.S. Marine Squadron's stationed in the Solomon Islands, the Corsair swiftly gained air supremacy in the Pacific theatre.
