| Undoubtedly, World War
II's most colorful Marine Corps ace was Gregory "Pappy"
Boyington, whose hard-drinking, hard-living "Black Sheep
Squadron" fought their way to fame in less than three
months, piling up a record 197 planes destroyed or
damaged, troop transports and supply ships sunk, and
ground installations destroyed.
Pappy's plane was the formidable F4U Corsair with its
unique bent wing, the result of a marriage between the
most powerful engine ever installed in a piston-engined
fighter and one of the world's biggest propellers. The
new GWS semi-scale F4U Corsair ARF offers stable flight
characteristics and a powerful gear-driven EPS350C motor
system to provide plenty of outdoor aerobatic action.
It's easy to put together too. Just a couple of evenings
are all you'll need to assemble this prepainted,
all-injected molded foam aircraft. |
