The Corsair, a grand old airplane. It could hold its own with the best of 'em. Including the Mustang. Check out the following link on the best fighter-bomber of WW2.

The Corsair, a grand old airplane.

Thanks for the Corsair link. My father flew them in Korea and it remains one of his favorite fixed-winged aircraft.

One of his "Thought I had bought the farm stories" in that aircraft found him in a flat spin! He managed to break it by lowering the landing gear; and, as he puts it, "If that hadn't worked, your mother would have been a widow!"

He has several models of it in his den, and a copy of the orginal Navy POH!
