Warbird Information Exchange

Close friend and supporter of the Connecticut Air & Space Center, Ralph Harvey, has just finished his new book, Developing the Gull Winged F4U Corsair and Taking It to Sea. It's an interesting read and covers the development in Stratford, Fleet Air Arm and New Zealand up through the 100 Hour War in Central America as Apollo 11 was landing on the moon. Strongly recommended if you love the Corsair.
The CASC provided photos and several interviews for the book.

It is available on Amazon.

I have always loved the Corsair (not as much as a B-25 though) but do love the lines of this classic warbird, but if you turn the airframe over with wings down and locked, then turn the plane to gear down, one can clearly see that the F4U series aircraft had an INVERTED gull wing configuration, not a gull wing configuration. I'm just sayin'

Cool book tho, I'll have to look at it

Hey Drew... Thanks for the heads up! Also, whatever happened to the book you mentioned last year being written about the Fleet Air Arm Corsairs. Would love to know more about that too.

Cheers,
Richard
