Hi guys, I'm currently looking for all the F4u variants used during the battle of Iwo Jima. I was wondering if the f4u-4 was already in service and served at Iwo Jima. Thank you so much.

Afternoon folks, I'm planning on building an F4U-1C model. The biggest issue I'm facing is the lack of good documentation online about this plane. As far as I can find, there are no solid images or better yet blueprints of the upper wing. I'd like to be able to find out the exact size for the...

Can anyone tell me what types of aviation gasoline were available to the US Air Force in Korea. I saw one site that talked about JP1 jet fuel used by the Air Force and JP3 used by the Marines, but the Marines also used 100/130 and 115/145 av gas in their jets and eventually just standardized on...

Not trying to spam the community but I thought you guys would like to know that there is a new subscription service available called Aircorps Library that has 500,000+ blueprints available for viewing online of a dozen or so WWII era civil and military aircraft. Airframes include P-40, P-51...

I recently purchased RT-22 AN/APX-1 IFF Transponder Set; used in Navy aircraft F4F, F6F-5, FM-2, F4U How was it used and what Army Air Corps planes was it used in? what else goes with the system in the aircraft?

On most of the F4U-1 documents that show any sort of power ratings ie. Engine power always refer to a "see paragraph 503a" also a paragraph 551b for propeller specs. The document is SD-261-1D-1B Report No. 6756 for one of the examples. Where would I be able to get this mysterious documents...

In order not to clog up the current RAF bombing thread, I'd reckon it is better to discuss the merits and shortcomings of big US fighters in a separate thread. The P-38 was drop-tank ready before the 1st production F4U made 1st flight - Feb. vs. June 1942. That, and numbers available means...

I understand that the F4U and B-26 Marauder construction involved a lot of spot-welding in place of rivets. Was it any more difficult repair battle damage (replace aluminum sheeting, etc.) on spot-welded areas than rivets? At least with rivets, if you have to drill out the rivets you can see...

Hi guys, I am new to the forum and would like to know how one goes about finding out the publication and roll numbers for aircraft blueprints at the National Archives. Or if anyone happens to know what box they are in along with roll numbers I could use that too. Conversely if anyone has the...

I'm building a 1/4 scale RC F4U Corsair. The majority of the structural building is just about complete, and now I'm at the point where I need to decide which aircraft I will be replicating. I've initially had my heart set on the paint scheme which shows white or gray on the bottom with a dark...

I've got lots of pictures of my favorite plane, the F4U Corsair, but I'm looking for an exact head-on profile--don't care what model . I want to up-size it and paint it on my pickup truck tailgate. If you have one, can you email it to [email protected]. (you'll note that my email address...
