Anonymous users2024-02-06<> R&D background. The F4U "Corsair" fighter is a carrier-based aircraft and land-based fighter developed by the U.S. Navy for the U.S. Navy, which served in the U.S. Army during World War II to the Korean War (1942-1952), and after the Korean War, the F4U was still in service in some countries until the 60s of the 20th century.
In the Pacific Theater of World War II, the F4U and F6F were the main forces of the U.S. Navy and became a strong opponent of Japanese fighters. After the end of World War II, according to the statistics of the U.S. Navy, the ratio of F4U shot down was 11:1, that is, only 1 out of every 11 enemy aircraft shot down was shot down, which has an impressive record.
Introduction to Performance. In 1942, the F4U began to officially enter service with the US Navy. The first squadron to use the F4U, the VF-17, was originally planned to be equipped with the F4U on the aircraft carrier Shoboshan, but was forced to abandon it due to insufficient maintenance parts and several technical problems during the take-off and landing of the aircraft carrier, and was deployed in the Solomon Islands theater instead.
Since then, F4U has successively moved to the South Pacific, the Philippines, Okinawa and other places. The F4U's main mission during the Korean War was ground attack, and it suffered a lot of damage from ground artillery fire, but on the whole it was still very good and was active in close support on the front lines.

Anonymous users2024-02-04As the most outstanding carrier-based fighter of World War II, the F4U Corsair has become a legend (the late model fought in the Korean War and was the fastest aircraft of the Navy at the time). Due to its curved gull-shaped wings and high kill rate, it is known as the "whistle of death" by the Japanese. The "Corsair" is the first US fighter with an operating capacity of more than 400 kilometers, and as the first line combat aircraft of the US Navy, it has a better performance than the F4F "Wildcat".
Unfortunately, because its "long nose" limited the visibility of the pilots (especially during take-off and landing), it was considered unsuitable by naval commanders for operation on aircraft carriers. As is customary, when the Navy considers its own planes not so good, they give them to the marines. "Corsair" was restricted to land-based flights, providing air support to the Marine Corps.
The Marines are very excited to have a hot new fighter to replace the aging Wildcat. A little later, "Corsair" also proved its capabilities to everyone. At the end of World War II, the Corsair made a series of improvements to make it safe to land on aircraft carriers.
In its final months, the "Winged Bird" helped intercept a large number of kamikaze fighters.
The F4U fighter has good acceleration performance, powerful firepower, fast climbing, sturdy and durable, fierce and rough model, and its overall performance surpasses the famous Japanese "Zero" fighter, which is the main force of the US Air Force in the early stage of World War II. The F4U fighter has a wingspan of meters, a length of meters, a height of meters, a take-off weight of 6,350 kilograms, a maximum level flight speed of 684 kilometers per hour (altitude of 6,100 meters), a ceiling of 11,280 meters, a range of 1,635 kilometers, and a climb rate of 867 meters. Loads 6 machine guns, can be attached to 2 450 kg bombs or 8 rockets.
During World War II, Germany missed at least three turnarounds. <>The most important turning point in the Battle of Britain was that the Luftwaffe underestimated the role of British radar, believing that radar was not important, and switched to bombing cities. If the Luftwaffe chose to continue to attack the British radar station at that time, and then paralyzed the radar in the English Channel area and lost the monitoring ability, this would at least drag the British Air Force and make the Air Force unable to effectively control the sea surface from the air, so that the German Sea Lion Plan could be implemented and send the German Army to the British Isles, plus the psychological impact of the blitzkrieg at that time still existed, and with the high-quality German Army at that time, in the face of the British who were limited to panic at that time, the German army should be able to take the British Isles quickly. >>>More
Germany didn't know that at that time. Japan had already planned to attack the United States, and Germany knew about it, but all along, Germany had been vigorously opposed to Japan's attack on the United States, because the United States' participation in the war at that time was likely to directly reverse the situation of the war that was originally biased in their favor, and moreover, Japan at that time did not conquer China within a month as it had planned, and the war situation in East Asia was still unclear, and if the United States got involved, it would inevitably suffer from the enemy, so Germany has always opposed Japan's sneak attack on the United States in this regard. However, the Japanese emperor at that time seemed to have seen the defeat of the war and lost confidence in the war, so with their national character, they had to fight to the death. >>>More

At the beginning of the year, FIFA confirmed that football originated in China, and "Keju" is the earliest football activity recorded in historical records. In ancient China, football was called "Keju" or "Ju", "Keju" and "Ju" both mean to kick, and "Ju" is the name of the ball. The word "Keju" was first recorded in the "Historical Records of the Bandits", and Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty and Yan Shi of the Tang Dynasty were the "Han Shu". >>>More
