F4U Corsair Squadron

Blood Red Skies: F4U Corsair Squadron

The Vought F4U Corsair was designed as a carrier-based fighter, but flying from rough island airstrips in tropical conditions was no obstacle. The battles for Guadalcanal proved its superiority over its Japanese opponents.

The F4U flew over 60,000 sorties during the war (only 9,000 sorties from carrier decks) for the U.S. Navy & Marines and the U.S. Navy (about 40% of all fighter sorties), with only 9,581 sorties (15%) flown from carrier decks. Corsairs achieved 2,140 aerial victories and 189 losses to enemy aircraft, for an overall kill ratio of over 11:1. It also proved its versatility by dropping over 70% of all bombs dropped by U.S. fighters during the war.
