Image description

By V-J Day, September 2, 1945, Vought F4U Corsair pilots had amassed an 11:1 kill ratio against enemy aircraft. The aircraft's distinctive inverted gull-wing design allowed ground clearance for the huge, three-bladed Hamilton Standard Hydromatic propeller, which spanned more than 4 meters (13 feet). The Pratt and Whitney R-2800 radial engine and Hydromatic propeller was one of the most powerful engine-propeller combinations ever flown on a fighter aircraft.
