Summary
| Description | A U.S. Navy Vought F4U-1 Corsair assigned to Fighter Squadron 17 (VF-17) "bouncing" on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) in 1943. The bad landing characteristics of the early F4Us led to the banning of the F4U from carrier decks until 1944 (F4U-2) and 1945 (F4U-1A/D). |
