The F4U was first flown in 1940 and the first versions served with US Marine Corps squadron VMF 124 in 1942. The US Navy squadron VF 12 got them later that year, although the USN did not qualify them for carrier use till almost 2 years later. The French Navy used them right up to 1964 with combat in Indo-China and Algeria. The Corsair's final combat missions were fought in 1969 between Honduras and El Salvador, a Honduran F4U shooting down 3 El Saldorean fighters.
