An F4U-series Corsair fighter, identifiable by its distinctive inverted gull wing, sits tied down on the flight line in front of a wooden-frame hangar at a U.S. naval air station. The Corsair served as the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps' primary carrier and land-based fighter through World War II and remained in front-line and training service into the Korean War, prized for its speed and firepower.
