Beautiful planes. I see you're awake already!

I have great affection for the F4U and the P-47. They shared the first single engine use of the Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp R-2800 eighteen cylinder 2,000+ horsepower engine. The F6F Hellcat followed and was the first carrier fighter fully superior to the Zero. (I know about the Corsair and it's carrier landing "problems". The Navy has it's share of incompetent senior officers.)

Goodyear built Corsairs with Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major R-4360 engines, my personal favorite radial. Only five were built. They were sold surplus, anyone got one let me know so I can come visit.
