A U.S. Navy Goodyear XF2G-1 Corsair (BuNo 14692) at the Naval Air Test Center Patuxent River, Maryland (USA), on 21 July 1945. The F2G, sometimes called the "Super Corsair," was fitted with the 3,000-hp Wasp Major engine. Performance and speed were not quite as good as hoped; and in any event with the Grumman F8F Bearcat performing so well and the end of the war in sight, the F2G saw only very limited production.
