OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE: TEST FLIGHT
Early F4U-1 with original camouflage scheme applied to all Corsairs. Color scheme was non-specular blue-gray over non-specular light gray, some.
Some F4U-1's had a tri-scheme of sea blue, intermediate blue and flat white. Camouflage colors later faded from exposure to the elements of sun and tropical weather.

Fantastic Fighter but not the easiest to fly. The trio of the Corsair, thunderbolt and the Hellcat were indeed a formidable line up.
