The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was a highly effective American fighter aircraft that dominated combat primarily during World War II and the Korean War. This versatile warplane was specifically designed as a carrier-based aircraft, but its initially poor carrier landing performance made it unsuitable for Navy use until British Fleet Air Arm pilots mastered the challenging landings. Ultimately, the Corsair's strengths were fully realized in its area of greatest deployment: land-based operations by the U.S. Marines, where its impressive capabilities left a lasting legacy.
