They do indeed.  :)   Is the F3U-4 turbocharged?

Thanks Apophenia! The F3U-4 is indeed turbocharged. When it went into action it outperformed the F4U-1 at that moment.

Thank you all Guys!!


The Usaaf was also interested in the new F3U and after several tests they ordered the plane as th A-23. Here is an A-23A from 66th FS in Tunis after the operation torch.

Nice! Everything looks good in OP Torch 'pink'. But your A-23A would not only be capable of taking off from a carrier, in a pinch, she could land on again  :)

Excellent job on the F3/IAR bashes  ;)  Could you please bash up an F3 with a Bristol Centaurus engine from a Sea Fury?

Thanks,

Hello Mike,

The FAA ordered the F3U-1, they changed it with the Bristol centaurus engine. Here is one from 802 sqn during the Korean War in 1952
