The USS Leyte being refueled at sea by the USS Cimarron as the USS Henderson stands fire watch off the coast of Korea. Continued support was given by jet fighters, fighter bombers and dive bombers from the carriers off the coast of North Korea, sending down tons of bombs and rockets on military targets in support of the rapidly advancing U. N. units.
The glistening upright wings clearly identify the deck load of aircraft as being the F4U Corsair, Vought's most successful and long lived aircraft in naval aviation history. From its inception it set records, some of which still stand today. Of the 12,570 examples produced (7,829 by Vought 4,006 by Goodyear, and 735 by Brewster), the Corsair still remains the most manufactured tail hook aircraft of all time. Fortunately, with the advent of the Korean War, the Navy possessed 846 F4u's and -4B's
