Corgi Corsair I-JT172, 1835 Sq Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, Brunswick, USA
Regarded by many as the best US Navy fighter to see combat in World War II, the Navy placed contracts for nearly 600 of the F4-U Corsair in 1941. Britain, in the guise of the Fleet Air Arm, began using the Corsair as soon as it became available through the Lend-Lease act in 1943. Early aircraft were designated Corsair MkI, and the Fleet Air Arm form the Corsair squadrons in North America at Quonset or Brunswick, and then shipped as fighter escorts to Britian.
The air war in Europe helped decide the outcome of the war. From the early dogfights between Spitfires and Messerschmitts in the skies over Britain to the bombing raids and fighter escorts late in the war, the history of this monumental conflict is rendered in striking detail and authenticity by Corgi. These aircaft can exhibited with the gear up or with the gear down and include the display stand.
