A rarity in technical publications

This facsimile reprint is the actual flight manual for F4U-5 Corsair, US Navy fighter aircraft. It is the Pilot's Handbook as published in 1951, when the plane was at the end of his career, following its tremendous success in II World War (it is basically the same type flown by Marine Major Pappy Boyngton, leader of the famous Squadron VFM 214 "Black Sheeps"). The handbook is a wonderful source of informations because the layout is forerunner of modern military aircraft manuals; as for its contents we can find all the details of cockpit arrangements, normal and emergency checklists, several descriptions on operational equipments such as the radar system used for the Night Fighter version. Finally, for the technicalities maniac, real operating instructions charts (referring to external load configuration), power plant and flying perfomance charts are available in appendix.

This is a useful tool for the warbird enthusiast to understand the aircraft achievements as narrated by many volumes such as " The Skull & Crossbones Squadron VF 17 in IIWW" or "Whistling Death-The test pilot story of the F4U Corsair", and to explain the longevity and versatility of this well-known airplane.
