Aircraft > popular all-time > Goodyear Corsair F4U, piloted by Gene De Marco lands on 29 while the unfortunate Fokker Triplane lies on her back after tripping on the landing approach during Thursday's practice.

"In March of 1944, Pratt & Whitney requested a F4U-1 Corsair from Vought Aircraft for evaluation of their new P&W R-4360,28 cylinder engine. Vought transferred F4U-1, BuNo 02460 (Birdcage Canopy) to see if the airframe and engine were compatible. The tests proved successful and Goodyear Aircraft of Akron, Ohio was given the F2G program.

The I-153 first flew in 1938 and served in the Far East in the summer of 1939 against the Japanese Army on the Manchurian border at Nomongan. The type also saw service in the Finnish War of 1939-40. Used by the Chinese Nationalist forces against the Japanese. This and two other wrecks, sourced from Russia, were rebuilt in that country for Sir Tim Wallis in the 1990s.
