Jesus! Listen to that thing in the dives! What a monster!

Awesome link, expat.

That landing was perfect, too. Great stuff... looks like a skilled pilot.

This video should be required viewing for anyone who thinks our Corsair is over-modeled.

I can fully understand where "Whistling Death" came from. That's a DAMN frightening sound to hear even WITHOUT the .50cal blazing and bombs falling on your head.

What an awesome piece of American Machinery!  And to think I personally flew 12 of them to their destruction just last night.

Fabulous shots of the Corsair. :aok Boy imagine being some poor, skinny little, starving IJA soldier and seeing that monster diving in on you? The 0.50s must have been ferocious and that ain even counting the rockets, bombs, napalm...ect Its terrific to see some still flying.
