The Corsair, single place Navy fighter, was the last propeller-driven fighter made in the U.S. Unique in appearance with its inverted gull wing shape, it was designed for carrier operation but was flown from Pacific airstrips by Marine Corps pilots. The Corsair proved very effective in the Korean War.
