Hot Space | i meant it's looks, and yes C.C. it did, there wasn't any relaiable "big" engines in germany at the time, so they literally bolted two 12 cylinder engines together in each naculle

| I got a question about the aircraft db (wow...actually on topic ).
For the F4U-4 it says there were 2000 and some F4U-4 and F4U-4Cs produced. What's a -4C? I've only ever heard of F4U-4s and F4U-4Bs with 20mm cannons.

The F4U-4N was only make one and they use them as a test I believe, but I have no clue for that F4U-4N history.
