Re: F4U-1A
Quote:
The BuAer issued exhaustive lists of suffixes with their meanings. You can find them on the net very easily. Among other modifications: "B" stood for "aircraft built for the British under Lend-Lease". "C" was for cannon-armed aircraft. "D" was for drop tanks. Right on spot as far as the Corsair is concerned. The only one-off designation regarding the Corsair was the night-fighter version, which was designed F4U-2, while it should have been F4U-1N. But at that time, night-fighters were probably new to the BuAer and they had not yet made their mind up as how call them.
