Sry boys but it's not the supercharger sound that give the Corsair its nickname.
Vought worked hard with Hamilton to fit the Huge PW with a low speed prop. The idea was to get a higher Mach at alt for the airplane in a very clean configuration despite (very relatively) the radial engine
The side effect was that in a high speed dive, the prop tips reached the speed of sound with the typical whine as a result.
Regarding the pic Tiger posted : how many Spit ace can tell me how that pilot cld enjoy the same rear view as we hve in CoD ?
@Klem : I hear them more and more scarcely
