1945 Goodyear FG-1D Corsair at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in 2001

The U.S. Navy’s distinctive gullwinged Corsair was introduced in 1940. A powerful counterpart to the Japanese Zero fighter, over 11 Japanese planes were lost for every downed Corsair. This late-model Corsair went into Naval service on May 29, 1945. It remains in flying condition.
