I was watching a you tube video on the history of the F4U and the last active duty Corsair was retired in France in 1964. I think, IIRC, the last active duty Corsair was retired in 1957 in this country and reserve was 1962. Not bad for an 1938 design. The video I was watching said that F4U's often tangled with jets in Korea and the jets didn't always come out on top.
