History: The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was an American fighter aircraft that primarily served during World War II and the Korean War. Demand for this aircraft quickly outpaced Vought's manufacturing capacity, leading to production by Goodyear, with Goodyear-built Corsairs designated as FG. From the first prototype delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940 to the final delivery in 1953 to the French, a total of 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured by Vought, in 16 separate models, marking the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in U.S. history.
