The Chance Vought F4U Corsair. For many it’s THE aircraft that comes to mind when discussing the Pacific Theatre of Operations. The design was so successful and in demand that licensed production was also undertaken by Goodyear and Brewster Aircraft. #warbirds #ww2 #ww2history #corsair #flynavy | Daniel J Wheatcroft

Today, after a little coaxing, this beautiful bird was fired up for the first time in 25 years! You can see this historic airplane for yourself when it’s on display at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023. It also will be a part of a special Corsair reunion. #OSH23 | EAA - The Spirit of Aviation | Facebook
