Ensign Eliminator

Nickname given to the Chance-Vought F4U Corsair, an American Carrier-Based Fighter of World War Two. Earned its nickname due to the fact that the cockpit which was placed further back than most carrier-based aircraft made carrier landings extremeley difficult. This resulted in many inexperienced pilots crashing thier planes on landing.
