File :-(, x)
Here's the Corsair I.
US WW2 F4U Corsair fighter/bomber. Fast, rugged, and deadly. A bit difficult to land on a carrier, because of the placement of the gull wings (blocked the vision of the pilot), until the Brits suggested that the pilots land while making a slow left turn that gave better vision. Enjoyed something like an 11-to-1 kill ratio, only exceeded by the F6 Hellcat who would, on the average, kill 13 enemy planes for every Hellcat destroyed.
