From the rear cover: "F4U Corsair is a superb new history of the design, development, combat record, and air-racing career of the F4U Corsair and all its variants. " From the website of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was an American fighter aircraft that saw service in World War II and the Korean War (and in isolated local conflicts). Goodyear-built Corsairs were designated FG and Brewster-built aircraft F3A. The Corsair served in some air forces until the 1960s, following the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in history (1940 - 1953). During World War II, it was the fighter the Japanese feared the most. The U. S. Navy counted an 11: 1 kill ratio for every F4U shot down. The Japanese nicknamed it "Whistling Death", for the noise made by airflow through the wing root radiator air intakes. " ED_A33 ; 144 pages
