Hello Leonard,

I didn't knew that the British flew the Corsair in Korea.
Did they shoot anything down with it ?

Cheers,

Michael

They did not use them to my knowledge, which explains why they lost none.

A bit late, but here's the loss info from the Osprey volume. Presented in a very odd manner .....

Hello Peter,

yes that's odd.
I think the British Commonwealth scored very few Korean War kills and none with the Corsair

whereas the US indeed scored 12 Corsair kills.

Have a nice weekend,

Re: Vought F4U Corsair - top ten ace list
Good morning Gentlemen,

the first Corsair kill was scored in 1943.
The last Corsair kill was scored in 1969.
Is this period of 26 years a record ?
Or did the MiG-21 score after 1991 ?

Cheers,

Michael
