Information
The Corsair Mk.II is the British version of the F4U-1A, which incorporated a bulged canopy with only two frames, along with a simplified clear view windscreen. The seat of the pilot was also raised about 180mm, allowing the pilot better visibility over the long nose and greatly improving carier landings.
The main difference between the F4U-1A and the Mk.II are the wingtips, with the latter having shorter wingtips for their aircraft and escort carriers, which are relatively smaller than US carriers.
The Royal Navy received 510 Corsair Mk IIsone of the two British Corsairs to be used in combat, they served in both Europeand the Pacific.
