USA : F4U-1d
When designing the single-engine carrier-based fighter-bomber designated as the Chance Vought F4U-1D Le Corsaire («The Corsair»), it was decided to ignore the new weaponry from the F4U-1C and use six of the proven 12.7 mm machine guns (as had been on the F4U-1A).
The plane’s main innovation was its capacity to hold two 454-kg bombs and one 907-kg bomb. Thus the F4U-1D could be used as a heavy fighter-bomber. Also, additional fuel tanks could be installed instead of bombs and a more powerful engine was added.
