DELPRADO/OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES (MEN & LEGENDS): CORSAIR
ACES OF WORLD WAR 2
by Mark Styling. Editor-in-Chief Juan Ramón Azaola
The speed with which the Corsair was rushed into service
as a land-based fighter obliged the pilots to learn on the
job. The aircraft soon proved superior to the Japanese Zero
and played a major part in the destruction of Japan's elite
air forces in the South Pacific. This versatile aircraft saw
service with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps as well as the
British Fleet Air Arm and the Royal New Zealand Air Force.
