The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft which saw service primarily during World War Two and the Korean War. The Corsair was designed and operated as a carrier-based aircraft. The aircraft had its first flight on 29 May 1940. It was introduced into service on 28 December 1942. There were over 12,000 produced from 1942 to 1953.
The VMF-323 Squadron was a fighter squadron nicknamed the \"Death Rattlers\". VMF-323 was originally commissioned on 01 August 1943, at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. According to oral history, the squadron got its nickname from three fighter pilots who killed a six foot rattlesnake and hung its skin in the squadron\'s ready room. VMF-323 began training in F4U Corsairs almost immediately, for combat in the Pacific theatre of World War Two. Today\'s current squadron, VMFA-323, is an aircraft carrier based aviation squadron of the United States Marine Corps. The squadron is equipped with the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet. The unit is based at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California.
There are numerous examples of the Corsair still flying today. They are a common sight at airshows around the country.
