I love the F4U Corsair.

I saw many Corsairs in 1944-1945 coming out of the factory doors in Conn. and take off. Mine and my sister`s names were written on the tail of the last Corsair sent to England.
My father was the chief electrical inspector for Vought. I also saw Sikorsky`s helicopters flying there next door - I called them “big bugs”.
