This is my \/\/ \/\/ || Challenge entry, it is an F4U Corsair. They were desined in 1944, they wanted a carrier based fighter-bomber and the conlusion was the F4U Corsair, there was way to many accidents on landing that they were banned. Then later the british modified them to make them able to land on carriers, then they were brought back. They were equipped with machine guns, rockets, and bombs oh my! They were the world’s first fighter-bomber. They served a great defence against the japanese kamikazie.

Ok, first off the Corsair was not designed in 1944 it was designed in 1940. It then was put into service in ‘42, AS A NAVAL FIGHTER. The British did not turn it into a carrier based fighter, but they modified the A1 models in ’43 that were given to the USMC because they were incapable of landing on carriers due to the weak landing gear. They were never banned, the navy only stoped using them on their carriers until the landing gear were fixed and able to land on the US carriers. And also it was not the worlds first fighter bomber
