  • magnificent aircraft

  • The version pictured in this video is and f4U1d ar fG1D which served from 1944 until the wars end, superceeding the F4u1, flattop and Bubble top versions, the F4u1a with a Blown Canopy and the F4u1c which was an F4u1A with 20 Mm Cannon. Bubble tops were flat top cannopied versions with small bubbles for rearview mirrors

  • Excuse my spelling, that's with 3 Blades as the F4U1 A through D and $ Blades as the F4U4 through 7. There where also versions produced by Goodyear under the FG1-d and later FG4 headings. See Corsair Vought F4U-4, FG-4 1945 Maintenance & Erection (part# AN01-45HB-2)

  • When it comes to Corsairs and p51's you don't know what you are talking about. the Corsair was produced witha three four blade , as the F4u1 A through D and beginning in 1944 as the f4u4 through f4u7 with four plades. the top speed for the p51 d was 450 miles per hour and the top speed for the f4u4 was one mile an hour better. It was also reputed to be a better fighter at low altitudes.

    The Corsair was produced long after WW2 e and served in Korea and even shot down a mig

  • hey p-51s rule! i stood next to one its alot bigger then u would think! 3blades are good u know! but then again 4 blades is better! but those planes are wonderfull anyway!

  • yeah, hoe can you say that just cause it's a 3 bladed propellor, at least their keeping it flying and it's worth more than you any day

  • that looked incredibly slow..

  • I like planes, The Corsair comes around 5th for me. THE SPITFIRE RULES

  • Was just saying it's structurally a totally different plane. There is no jet version of the F4U Corsair. The jet Corsair is the A7.

  • I beg to differ, since I was attached to an actual A-7 Navy Squadron in the early 80's. Vought made both WW2 version AND the jet version which is why it was produced officially as the "Vought" A-7 Corsair II.

    Feel free to verify on your own using the internet.
