HISTORY ASPECTS:The F4U Corsair was a naval fighter aircraft used by the United States Navy and Marine Corps during World War II and the Korean War. Its excellent capabilities and performance made it very successful for the USMC. The F4U had a long production life span and was last produced in 1952. It had a max speed of 417 mph and carried six .50 caliber machine guns or four 20mm cannons as well as a pair of 2000 lb. bombs and air rockets.F4U aircraft #86 was piloted by Maj. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington Commanding Officer of the VMF-214 "Black Sheep" Squadron who fought their way to fame in the Pacific Theatre of World War II. Flying out of their home airfield out of Vella Lavella the "Black Sheep" piled up a record 203 planes destroyed or damaged troop transports and supply ships sunk and ground installations destroyed in their first 84 days. Boyington himself claims a record 28 total kills. He was shot down on January 3 1944 and was a prisoner of war for 20 months until the Japanese surrender. He was awarded both the Medal of Honor and Navy Cross on October 1945. The mid-1970s television show "Baa Baa Black Sheep" was very loosely based on his memoirs.
