The Vought F4U Corsiar

The Vought F4U Corsiar was one of the first, and best carrier-borne aircraft of all time. It was intally equipped with machene-guns and bombs, but bombs, rokets and cannon where soon added.

The Corsiar was intally deemed unsutible for carrier-bound operations, It was first flowen from land on Guadalcanal. The Navy took it on, and was the main fighter in the last year of the Pacific war. The Corsiar was also used by the Marines.

The Corsiar was used in the Korean War, as a ground attack aircraft and some knocked out MiG-15's!

The Corsiar was a stable workhorse, that was inportant to the final victory in the Pacific.

Tommorw: The Vought Corsair

The A-10 Thunderbolt II

The US Fighters Series has been cancelled.

Anyway, now more informal articles will be produced.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II

The A-10 Warthog is one of the best ever USAF anti-tank aircraft. After the USAF's exprence in Korea and Veitnam, they asked a company for a propose-desinged AT aircraft. The company designed the Warthog.

The Warthog was first used in the First Gulf War. They where used as a anti-tank aircraft. They took many Iraqi tank casuties and shot down 6 helicopters with air-to-air missiles. They took on a simmilar job in the Second Gulf War.

The A-10 is armed with a leathal depleted uranimum cannon, which can kill a tank in one shot, from over four miles away. The A-10 also can be armed with missiles, "dumb" bombs and "smart" bombs.
They are expected to leave USAF service in 2010, but with updating, they are going to be around for alot longer.

If you have friends or relitives in Bali. Try contacting then directly first.


You may, or may not have heard that just over 12 hours ago, a series of blasts rips up Bali, a resort island in Indonesia. Reports show that about 30 people are dead, going up from reports as low as three. This includes South Koreans, Americans, Australians, Indonesians and a Briton. The explosions hit three locations around Bali, hitting two restrants and a shopping center, almost 30 kilometers away. A 16-year old Australian boy is among the dead.

• Kevin Rudd (Australian Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister) "revolting beyond description"
