Goodyear FG-1D Corsair

This Corsair FG-1D was built by Goodyear right here in Akron, Ohio. Wartime demand required Vought to contract out much of the production to Goodyear. There was no difference in the design of the aircraft, except those coming from the Goodyear plant were designated as FG-1D.
