About the Vought F4U-1A Corsair
Introduced into service in 1942, the Vought F4U-1 featured inverted gull
wings and a massive 2,000 hp engine spinning the largest propeller
mounted on a fighter at the time. While the fighters performance and
toughness was quite impressive, deficiencies such as inadequate forward
visibility, restricted all-round visibility due to the early frame-like
canopy, and the tendency for the left and right wings to stall at
different speeds led to various improvements being added throughout
production, eventually resulting in the F4U-1A version. These improvements included a longer tailwheel leg for better forward
visibility, a new canopy for better all-round visibility, and an almost
unnoticeable 15 cm stall strip fixed to the leading edge of the right wing to ensure both wings would stall at the same speed.
