## About This Content
She was affectionately – or sometimes not so affectionately – known by her
pilots as the Bent-Wing Bird, the Ensign Eliminator, Hose Nose, Hog Nose,
Sweetheart or Hog. Their choice of handle for this bird usually depended on
their latest adventure in the 4.5-7 ton envelope of this solid but
occasionally quirky airframe.

The F4U was born and bred to be a killer and she excelled at this endeavor,
laying claim to an astonishing 11-to-1 kill ratio by the end of WWII. That
does not include the unfortunate Ensigns who had so many problems trying to
land the long-nosed bird on a carrier that the Navy finally ceased trying.
They assigned the F4U to the Marines who quickly learned to love her for her
superior fighting ways. The F4U eventually became a successful carrier-borne
aircraft.

In her final form, which was the F4U-4, she was certainly in the running for
‘Best Fighter of WWII’. The F4U-4 could out-climb the P-51 Mustang by almost
800 feet per minute and had exceptional speed at low and mid altitudes.

The F4U Corsair is truly a unique aircraft with its bent wings, long nose, and
powerful engine. We know you’ll have a lot of fun flying her!
