F4U-4 Corsair Korean War 1:32 Scale 520 pc. Building Block Set by COBI – COBI-2417
The Vought F4U-4 Corsair was a US Navy fighter produced from 1942-1952 by Vought-Sikorsky Aircraft. The characteristic shape of the hinged wings and the rearward-shifted pilot’s cockpit were the result of numerous modifications during the design and testing phase of the prototypes. The culmination of the design work was an aircraft with exceptional performance, considered by many to be the best fighter of World War II.
Corsairs were also used by American units during the Korean War. In the initial period, there were dog fights between the F4U and the Yak-9 fighters, but with the arrival of the MiG-15, Corsairs in Korea were withdrawn to the role of support aircraft and night fighters. The plane was armed with six 12.7mm Browning machine guns, two 450kg bombs or eight 127mm HVAR unguided missiles. The first African American US Navy pilot (whose life inspired the movie “Devotion”) sat at the controls of this impressive aircraft.
