An extraordinary comprehensive monograph of one of the most well-known American aircraft. The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was a carrier-capable fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II, with some Japanese pilots declaring it the most formidable fighter of the war. It quickly gained the reputation for being the most capable fighter-bomber in production, and was also used by the Fleet Air Arm and the Royal New Zealand Air Force.
It contains the history of its design and development, as well as very detailed and numerous plans for modellers. Succesive chapters describe camouflage and markings of the planes on duty in USA, Great Britain, New Zealand and other countries. The books also includes detailed coverage of the service history of this aircraft. The whole book is illustrated with a great number of photos and colour plates showing Corsair camouflages. As usual the technical description is included.
