It has the famous Rolls Royce Merlin Engine. Fun fact: When designing it, they pushed a designer sitting on a drafting chair against the wall and traced his outline on the wall. The aircraft cross section was based on this.

Made famous by "The Black Sheep Squadron" TV show. Designed by the Chance Vought Company of East Hartford, Connecticut. However, during the war, many aircraft were produced by different companies, so Goodyear produced this one. There is one of these Goodyear models in Lake Washington that had an aborted takeoff from the Sand Point NAS. Fun fact: The "Gull Wing" feature was to hit the fuselage at 90 degrees so no wing fairing was needed which also gave it less drag/more speed. My friend Bill's dad was the Aerodynamicist at Vought, and he enlightened me on this.

Made by Pratt and Whitney. This air cooled radial engine powered the F4U Corsair.
