Product Dimensions: 5.60 x 6.80 x 2.50 in.

Model History and Information: The F4U Corsair's distinctive bent wing was driven by the need to accommodate a very large propeller, and the resulting fighter developed into a formidable carrier and land-based combat aircraft. Captain Philip C. DeLong flew with VMF-312 during the Korean War. BuNo 97380 aboard USS Bataan in May 1951 represents the Corsair after World War II, when a piston-engined fighter was still providing vital Marine close-air-support capability in Korea. The named serial, unit, date and finish on this model identify the individual historical subject represented: F4U-4 Corsair BuNo 97380, Capt. Phillip C. Delong, VMF-312, USS Bataan, May 1951.
