Vought F4U-5N CORSAIR
When I was growing up, my Dads friend, a crop duster, was a former Marine Aviator, WWII, who flew the bent wing bastard. He told me the four props were Korean War era.
The -4 had four props and saw service late in WW2 from Okinawa on. This is a -5 you can tell by the two air scoops on either side of the nose. The -4 has a single scoop under the nose. The -5 did not see service in WW2.
I'm 72 and it's always been my favorite plane I love the F4U corsair, I would love to see the 5 bladed 1 I've never seen one⚡️⚡️⚡️
The cowling was lowered two degrees to help with forward visibility, but perhaps most striking as the first variant to feature all-metal wings (223 units produced).[109]
F4U-5N: Radar equipped version (214 units produced)
Oh my, as the plaque says, as is obvious, this is an F4U-5N Korean War era Corsair in the markings of Lt. Guy Bordelon who was the only Navy ace, only night fighter ace and only prop-driven ace of the Korean War.
Looks to be a very nice example indeed!
Any Corsair is beautiful however that -5 version, there is something about it with those twin air intakes and 20mm's is as if it is as good as any piston/prop fighter plane can be. Please keep preserving all of these aircraft.
F4U-5: A 1945 design modification of the F4U-4, first flown on 21 December 1945, was intended to increase the F4U-4 Corsair's overall performance and incorporate many Corsair pilots' suggestions. It featured a more powerful Pratt and Whitney R-2800-32(E) engine with a two stage supercharger,
I think he’s talking about the Hellcat, the Corsair prototype first flew in like 1940 or 1941. The hellcat was a result of the Zero’s superiority over the wildcat.
This is the Korean War variant with the 4 props. The gentlemen in the video sounds convincing, but doesn't know what he's talking about. The hellcat was the one that was specifically built to combat the zero.
This one was too. This was after the hellcat. This is the hellcats successor
One prop, four blades!
The most beautiful of all the Corsairs. 🙂
That model Corsair is an F4U-5, it was post WW2. The F4U was heavier than the Mitsbishi Zero and not as maneuverable. It's gorgeous! :-)
The F4U had armor, the Zero didn’t.
There is a sign in front of that aircraft. Read it ....
DAMN FINE AIRCRAFT!!💝💝💝💝💝
Did he say F4U wildcat?
NorCal MTB yes he did...
LegitGrantham20 he meant f6
Lol yeah he sounds older let it go gents
@@Curtislow2
No he meant f4f wildcat
F4U corsair listed on Wikipedia as being built before WWII (1940s). With the video narrator saying: plane was built to "answer" the Japanese Zero .... Why'd we have Pearl Harbor .....?
The Grumman Hellcat F6F , however looked like a Grumman Wildcat, but, had it's engine power as it's surprise and
more. ~This~ was the answer to the Zero. As much as I adore the Corsair, the Hellcat dropped Zero's like flies.
ated at a maximum of 2,850 hp (2,130 kW). Other improvements included automatic blower controls, cowl flaps, intercooler doors and oil cooler for the engine, spring tabs for the elevators and rudder, a completely modernized cockpit, a completely retractable tail wheel, and heated cannon bays and pitot head.
2,850hp? Where does this information come from?
HA HA THIS guy is getting things wrong. a bit mixed up, but I bet he likes airplanes as much as I do. I hope he does, he better lol then ill forgive him for his mistakes.
He said F4U wildcat....F4F wildcat....lol
You are mistaken.
The Corsair was the longest in-production American piston fighter, but the Spitfire & 109 still beat it for service length.
The Best!
Black sheep number 1
The Corsair was a great fighter BUT it could NOT out turn an aircraft half it's weight. You oversell a magnificent plane. What the Akutan Zero showed is that it could not dive well and was slow in a starboard turn. What US fighters did trailing a Zero in a turn that they couldn't match is go into the vertical.
Excuse me in what museum can I see this beautiful specimen of Corsair F4u-5? thanks.
when ignorant people portray themselves as experts...
The contract for the prototype was signed in June 1938 so how captured Zeroes figured in the design...
also notice the 4x 20mm cannon instead of the 6x .50 cal. The 20mm was available in WWII but very rare. Since this is the -5N, it was a night fighter.
I thought the 5N wasn't used much until Korea...???... And mainly for ground attack/Close air support.
The 3 bladed had the 50 cal inside wings this 4 blade had the guns protruding outside the wings
@@johnklatt3522 I have a picture of me leaning on front tire from 1965 in El Salvador I was a paratrooper at Ilopango Base they had this planes lined up at the taxing runway I was a kid
No disrespect to the poster but the "Wildcats" were F4F, not F4U and this particular model was not in service during WWII. The -5N models saw action during the Korean conflict and many were in service long after.
@Prowler609 Actually, no it didn't. This was the -5N version, which came about much later.
Just as interesting info, the first F4U all the way to the 7 series had wooden control surfaces because alloy ones created too much flutter. kind of cool.
That is one clean looking Corsair. Anybody know which museum this is?
I think this guy is confusing the F4F Wildcats by calling them F4Us. The story he told of the crashed Zero benefited the development of the F6F Hellcat mainly. That F4U-5N was a later production Corsair identified by the 4x20mm cannon in place of the 6x.50 cal Brownings.
Not f4u wildcat. It’s f4f and f6f hellcat
. The f4u Corsair replaced. That’s cite is wrong. That was not a 42 Corsair. The cowling is different. That is the last model Corsair served in 44-45. That’s when they started the four prop role out. Before the super Corsair was finished. Corsair production began in dec 42 and those had the razor back cockpit which half way through the first run. The replaced with the semi bulb cockpit. Eventually going to a more bubble style sliding cockpit which led to the super corsairs large p-51 style canopy.
Gee, I thought the wings on the squadron were fixed.
wait, didn't the request from the navy go out to manufacturers in 1938 for this plane? And wasn't the plane first delivered right before the war kicked off? So how did they capture a japanese zero during the war to reverse engineer for this plane?
I TOTALLY AGREE 👍
He Doesn’t Know Shit About Airplanes ✈️
Wow. i didnt know that stripes meant this...
The 4 bladed Corsair hold the last kills on air combat 4 piston engine fighter plane and I personally knew the pilot that was shot down 1969 look it up Wikipedia
good to know the plane my grandfather good job babablack pilots
Yeah, F4F, not F4u... post war, not '43... designed in 1940 before any interaction with zeros... and it's ...too busy.. not "...to busy...". Not to be an ass, but we obviously get off on this kind of stuff. Thanks for video
this is a f4u-5 in Galveston Texas it is a Korean war variant not a ww2 variant not a super corsair like some Sat in the comments
its f4f wildcat he said a corsair
Cause it's an f4u wildcat, lol
***** no the guy says "f4u wildcat", i know what the corsair is haha
and thats a super corsair used in the korean war not against zeros
My information is from the information placard shown 17 seconds into this video.
This guy does not know what he's talking about. Both the zero and this plane were vertically in development at the same time and almost entered the services at the same time. Improvements on both planes happened though out the war. Matter of fact, what he's probably referring too is the two captured zeros in 1941. When the dod evaluated them and determined that yes the zero was a good plane. But lightly armed, armored and not setup for long duration flights. Technically they didn't really address the duration flights in the American aircrafts. But in that assessment they realized our planes despite having a deficiencies could out last in a dog fight. War of attrition. The fist zeros carried light ammo too. Not sure. But they might have started with 10mm then went to 30 then 50 and finally settling on the 20 mm auto cannon that everyone remembers. The reason was because the Americans had heavily armored planes. Well, hard plates anyhow. So they needed something to knock some holes. Both aircraft are listed in wiki. I think he is confusing the bearcat with the corsair. Maybe.
F4u saw combat after the first zeros saw service. The wildcat was the first to see zeros. Then they made the hellcst. This plane is the successor to the hellcat
Yep. This guy is really off in his facts.
Was not in WWII.
Whoever narrating history of warbirds does not know WWII & Korean War history at all or Airplanes!!!!! Great vid of the Korean War F4U-5N.The Wildcat was the F4F, not F4U,,,,ahhhh,,, Ignorance is funny,he obviously did not read the plaque!🤣🤣🤣
This guy doesn’t know what he is talking about. They designed it and built it before that happened
Pole does not work as advertised, I recommend you not purchase. No customer service either.
Baaaaa baaaa baaaa
Get a better guide. He's wrong on many counts.
The Corsair was in the design and production phase of it's long life prior to the beginning of WWII. Narrator needs a proof reader as he is obviously clueless to the history of this fine combat aircraft. Can't even get the nomenclature of a Wildcat correctly.
I thought the zero could out turn it
