I truly believe that out of all of the great creations in the world and in the history of humanity, imho, fighter planes (all types) are at the very top of the list of "amazing creations." Whether the creation be artwork, structure, medical/biological advancements, buildings, housing, plumbing, electricity, steam power, computers, internet, ships, trains, guns, tools, musical instruments, so many countless other inventions/creations, I truly believe WW2 era fighter planes are, this one being a wonderful example of something that is true greatness. Regardless of inherent flaws or limits of late 30's early to mid 40's engineering and aircraft manufacturing, aircraft like this I would be proud to say is one thing humans created that inspires and impresses without fail. I envy that pilot very much. It is amazing also though, that 80 years ago, that aircraft was not made for fun or to show off. It was made as weapons platform.

I am from Argentina. When I was a child, a retired couple lived across the street from my house. She had the peculiarity of having a strong accent since she was American, and he had been a pilot. Well, one summer my uncles spent a few days at home and they started to get to know them and invited us to take a tea at their house. To my surprise, we started looking their photos and I learned his story. He had been a pilot in the Argentine Air Force, but despite the fact that the country was neutral in WW2, he fought in the US Navy in the Pacific theater. And in fact, at the end of the conflict, he took a beautiful nurse from Philadelphia to Argentina. A lovely woman. But I still remember the huge photo he had of a Corsair with the palm trees of some Pacific island with all the pilots of the squadron standing on its wings. Every time I see this plane, it reminds me of that old man and the admiration I began to feel for him. I now live in Paris, and last month I was lucky enough to see this plane fly at Air Legends 2024. I always regret not having taken the opportunity to talk to him and hear more stories about what that conflict was like.

All R2800 engines in fact had some sort of supercharging, from early singe-speed/single -stage mechanical to the complicated turbosupercharger on the Thunderbolt. The highest power output for any in service was the -73 in the P-61 with a turbosupercharger and 2800hp. The highest power Corsairs to see service in WW2 had 2380hp with the -18W, which had water/methanol injection to get that power, but only for short bursts, and the -32W, also with water/methanol, plus a variable speed two-stage supercharger.

Beautiful. The Corsair (dubbed the Whistling Death by the Japanese) due to its distinct engine sound. The US navy had a different nickname “Ensign Eliminator”, the first squadron to get the Corsair had dozen or more fatal crashes trying to deck land the fighter. The landing gear was way too stiff, causing a kangaroo jump effect, the cockpit position lacked proper visibility due to the air frame being so high and angled up, to accommodate the huge propeller. and attempts to adjust the angle in landing caused the right wing to stall out. And so, between wing stall, and over throttle high torque flipping, the landing gear, the US navy didn't want it scratching the landing deck of its carries. There is a long-standing argument that the British came to the rescue. Some deny it. However, they made some modifications, a wedge riveted to the front of the starboard wing cured the one wing stall, a pressure relief valve to the landing gear, to soften the landing. British Captain Eric Melrose (Winkle) Brown had previously developed a landing method, for their own long nosed aircraft the Seafire, called ‘crabbed’ landing was adopted, to get around the lack of visibility. Swinging the nose to starboard with the rudder, while counteracting the swing putting on a slight opposite bank. He made the aircraft ‘crab’ in sideways, to give a better a view of the deck over the wing. TaDah! Back in business!
