The Vought F4U-4 Corsair was one of the most distinctive and formidable fighters of World War II. Its inverted gull wings and rear-set cockpit weren’t just eye-catching—they were the result of years of design refinement that produced one of the best-performing fighters of the era. First entering service in 1942, the Corsair saw continued use into the Korean War, where it shifted roles from dogfighter to ground-attack and night operations as faster jets like the MiG-15 emerged. The aircraft was armed with six .50 caliber machine guns and could carry a deadly payload of bombs and HVAR rockets. This legendary aircraft was also famously flown by the first African-American pilot in the U.S. Navy—a story that helped inspire a Hollywood film.
