――The Corsair is a masterpiece fighter representing the US Navy, equipped with a 2,000 horsepower class P & W R-2800 engine, a huge propeller with a diameter of about 4 m, and a fearless reverse gull wing.
--The improved version that appeared in the summer of 1943 following the first mass-produced F4U-1 is called the F4U-1A.

--In the Solomon Islands, the Japanese Navy fought a fierce battle with the Zero fighter and contributed to the victory of the Allied Forces.
