The Most Lethal Fighter of WWII with 11 to 1 Kill Ratio Nicknamed "The Whistling Death"

The Vought F4U Corsair is a legendary American fighter aircraft that outlasted all other American fighters in production for 11 years. In 1943, it was the final American fighter aircraft with a piston engine that went into battle. With an 11 to 1 kill ratio, the F4U Corsair proved to be an effective fighter and assault aircraft during World War Two, thanks to its reputation for speed, toughness, and firepower. Whistling Death is the moniker given to it by its unique sound produced at fast speeds.
