Howdy, Alfa.
Have great affection for the F4U. Your picture is very striking.
Once the American fighters got over 2,000 hp the Japanese could not outrun them unless coming out of a dive. In a dive or climb the heavy American craft could not be caught. P47 was that way, using the same engine, and weighing two tons more. Corsair must have been a rocket.
Oh, yes. Engine is a Pratt and Whitney R-2800 two row eigteen cylinder radial, of 2,800 cubic inches and 2,000 hp in the early models. Most excellent engine. DC-6 ran them, reliable, compact, powerful.
Vought - Sikorski design.
