The enormous war demand for all kinds of armaments, including fighters, caused the Vought factory to be overloaded with production. Therefore, it was extended to Brewster and Goodyear factories, where the production of F4U fighters began. Ultimately, 12,500 Corsairs were built in 16 different variants.The first production version of the Corsair - F4U-1 - had a characteristic built-in fairing cabin, so-called birdcage, which also forced to lower the position of the pilot's seat. There were many visible changes compared to the XF4U-1 prototype. First of all, the cockpit was moved 81 cm to the rear due to the installation of a much larger fuel tank in front of the cabin. The whole fuselage was then extended by 43 cm. Cockpit armor and a bulletproof windshield were also used. To improve visibility from the cabin, a windows behind the pilot's headboard were added on both sides. The F4U-1 version was powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-2800-8 twin wasp engine.Another variant was the F4U-1A, in which more or less from mid to the end of the production a higher and wider canopies were used - very similar to the British Malcolm hood. The pilot's seat was raised by 18 cm, which in addition with a new canopy and lengthening the tailwheel leg by 15 cm improved the visibility from the cockpit over the enormous nose of the machine. An important improvement was the introduction of much better oil shock absorbers on the main undercarriage, which eliminated the problem of "kangaroos" during landings. This had a considerable impact on Corsair service on board of aircraft carriers.

In February 1938, the United States Navy opened a competition for a new fighter. His maximum speed and operational ceiling were to exceed all the machines that the American aviation had at the time. Among others, the Chance Vought company entered the competition. The Corsair was designed by a team of engineers led by Rex Beisel, the company's chief constructor. The prototype XF4U-1 was flown on May 29, 1940. The Corsair was powered by an eighteen-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp. That was the largest and the most powerful radial engine ever installed in a single-seat front fighter

This famous US fighter produced by the United Aircraft Corporation, was used primarily in World War II and during the Korean War. It was the best fighter aircraft carrier embarked on the war, even if proved extraordinarily effective even ground-based and unbeatable in the attack on the ground. The Vought F4U Corsair was without doubt the best fighter of World War II based on aircraft carriers. It was extremely powerful and as fighter-bomber was so effective against the Japanese that they nicknamed him the "whistling death". As tactical air support, he was afraid even to "hear" his wing radiators produced a hissing sound worthy of a Stuka, and the Japanese soon became very respectful of their presence. The Vought F4U Corsair was a US fighter produced by Chance Vought Corporation (a company which later became the United Aircraft Corporation). It was mainly used in World War II and during the Korean War. It was the best fighters boarded the aircraft carrier of World War II, although it proved extraordinarily effective even ground-based and unbeatable in the attack on the ground, in many respects superior even to the P-51 Mustang. Despite its qualities, he spent half of his career working on bases on the ground, because, initially, the Navy considered it unsuitable for use on aircraft carriers. Nevertheless, he recorded an extraordinary amount of aerial victories.

This fully illustrated history of the iconic American fighter plane examines its development and combat experience through WWII and beyond. First flown in 1940, the Vought F4U Corsair was the fastest fighter in the world and the fastest US aircraft of any description. Powered by a huge 18-cylinder Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp engine, the first Corsairs were capable of speeds up to 417 miles per hour. This figure would rise to nearly 450mph in later versions. The F4U entered service with the US Navy in September 1942 and over time was extensively used by the US Marines, Royal Navy and Royal New Zealand Air Force. Famous squadrons that flew these planes—like VMF-214 'The Black Sheep' and VF-17 'Jolly Rogers'—maintained their superiority over the Japanese for the rest of the war. After the Second World War the Corsair was used with distinction by the French in Indo-China and again by the US Navy in Korea. Since then, Corsairs have remained a favorite among warbird enthusiasts the world over. This comprehensive book examines the engineering of the Corsairs alongside a detailed history of their development and usage in combat. Illustrated with scores of rare and previously unpublished photographs, Vought F4U Corsair is the perfect book for any fan of the 'bent wing bird'.
