Today, we celebrate 84 years of the F4U #Corsair taking its #FirstFlight.

A total of 12,571 Corsairs were built across 16 different models, starting with the prototype delivered to the #USN in 1940 and concluding with the final delivery to the French in 1953.

"A sailor attached to utility squadron VJ-4 plays with kittens that were discovered in an equipment room at U.S. Naval Air Station Squantum in Massachusetts, 1942." Original source is the National Archives but I found this in the book Cats in the Navy.
