Description

  Facts:F4U-1A(Corsair Mk II Fleet Air Arm): The designation F4U-1A does not appear in lists of Corsair Bureau Numbers and was not officially used, being applied post-war to differentiate mid-to-late production F4U-1s from the early production variant.[33]Mid-to-late production Corsairs incorporated a new, taller and wider clear-view canopy with only two frames — very close to what the Malcolm hood did for British fighter aircraft — along with a simplified clear view windscreen; the new canopy design meant that the semi-elliptical Plexiglas rear-view dorsal turtledeck "flank" windows could be omitted. The pilot's seat was raised 7 in (180 mm) which, combined with the new canopy and a lengthened tailwheel strut, allowed the pilot better visibility over the long nose. In addition to these changes the clear view panels under the cockpit were also omitted.
