Yes they built planes my mentally deranged chum BUT they were all utter useless crap (part of the reason they were so easily occupied just like the Czechs and the poles who also had **** planes)

Vought F4U-7 Corsair
For French Only!



F4U-7 didnt arrive for France until probably after 1953 and probably last long until 1965 or later on.
