I've sat in the XF4U-4 located in the NEAM last year.

 I'm fixing to take my son (4 1/2 yrs old) again to thier next "open cockpit" day. He enjoys it as much as I do. Let me know if you want any specific pictures or anything.

F4UDOA,

I mean that speeds and climb rates of the F4U-1 and P-51B in that MSWFDATA.PDF gives us quite different picture than conclusions in mentioned comparison.

Anyway, if the Navy wanted to compare the future F4U-4 and the P-51, then it's probably correct. But if they wanted to compare the standard 1944 F4U-1 and the P-51B, then conclusions are quite strange.

I found this while searching for documents on the F4F-3.

It may be of some use, it's a 1.6MB download.
