The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter
aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Demand
for the aircraft soon overwhelmed Vought's manufacturing capability, resulting
in production by Goodyear and Brewster: Goodyear-built Corsairs were designated
FG and Brewster-built aircraft F3A. From the first prototype
delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940, to final delivery in 1953 to the French,
12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured,
in 16 separate models, in the longest production run of any piston-engined
fighter in U.S. history (1942–53).
