Favorite WW2 fighter. Almost didn't go into production, because the pilot couldn't see when landing. The pilot had to waggle back and forth while landing and taxiing.
+Mark Snow That waggle gave the Corsair personality.
+Reo Cruz yes it did. The Japanese called it "Whistling Death".
Best looking plane made.
Had to come in at an arc to see carrier and trap
And the Brit's had to teach us how
