Based in the USA during World War II, this Corsair was placed in storage in 1946 at several US Navy bases. Transferred to the Smithsonian in 1960 it remained at their Paul E Garber storage facility and was restored in the markings of F4U-1A "Sun Setter". In 1993 it was loaned to the Virginia Air and Space Center in Hampton, VA until space became available at the Nation Air & Space Museum's new Udvar-Hazy Center in 2003.
