  The Corsair was primarily used as an offensive fighter and ground attack
  aircraft.  It was powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine which
  required the classic inverted gull wing design for sufficient propeller
  propeller clearance.  The F4U-4 was a late WWII version with a much increased
  load carrying capacity for ground-attack missions, including the ability to
  carry bombs and HVAR rockets. It was widely used by the Navy and Marines in
  Korea.
