The Vought F4U-1D Corsair was a refined variant of the legendary gull-wing fighter, overcoming early landing and visibility issues with an improved canopy and raised cockpit. Entering carrier service in 1944, it carried bombs, rockets, and napalm for versatile attack roles. The accompanying Moto Tug, a compact towing tractor adapted for naval use, was essential for moving aircraft on crowded carrier decks. Together, they evoke the operational power and logistical precision of the U.S. Navy during the later stages of World War II.
