The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was the most capable carrier-based fighter-bomber of World War II and served almost exclusively as a fighter-bomber throughout the Korean War. Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II, and the U.S. Navy counted an 11:1 kill ratio with the F4U Corsair. 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured by Vought, in 16 separate models, in the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in U.S. history.
