SynopsisThis book describes the development of the legendary F4U Corsair, and follows it into battle from Guadalcanal to the Indian Ocean, Central Pacific Ocean, Korea, Africa, and Central America, and throughout its lengthy military career into Korea. Also included are chapters on the most decorated Corsair pilots, surviving examples of various models, as well as detailed appendices, and the author's own detailed line schemes and maps. A total of 2,814 F4U-1, F4U-1A, and F4U-2 Corsairs were constructed and delivered. Musciano's book describes how this naval fighter was transformed to perform a myriad of functions for which it was never intended.
U.S aircraft both fighter and bombers were not only highly functional in their entended designs but best looking (especially to old ex-air force people like me).If it had a propeller in front or back,gorgeous,.No prop.(jet) exciteing and awesom..hope you get the idea here..
