About this part

The Vought F4U-4 Corsair, nicknamed the Sweetheart of Okinawa by U.S. Marines and Whistling Death by the Japanese. The Corsair served in two conflicts, the Pacific campaign of World War II and the Korean engagement of the early 1950s. The first production Corsair flew on June 25, 1942, when the Japanese offensive seemed unstoppable. Late that year, Corsair squadrons reached Marines on Guadalcanal and the Solomon Islands, and the tide of air combat turned permanently toward the Allies. The British Navy introduced the Corsair to carrier service in early 1944, and nine months later the U.S. Navy made it the mainstay of its carrier fleet. Wingspan: 30 inches Scale: 1/16 For ages 14 and up Suited to general hobby brushless RC airplanes.
