Corsair the Sky Pirates Campaign

a build story by David Johnson

The name "Corsair" was used a total of four times by Vought's planes; the O2U, SBU, F4U and the A7. The first O2U Corsair rolled out of the Vought Corporation factory in 1927. With the last A-7 Corsair being retired in the late 1990's. The Corsair has seen a lot of action through many conflicts during its 70 odd years of history
