Connecticut Corsair is restoring to flight a Corsair produced in 1945 by United Aircraft Corporation at its factory in Stratford , Connecticut . Designed by the Vought-Sikorsky Division of United Aircraft it was designated V-166B. It is a late version of the F4U-4, distinguished by its metal wingtips, flat windscreen and style of canopy. Vought assigned this aircraft the serial number 9484, and the US Navy assigned it Bureau Number, (BuNo) 97330.
