Rivet Counter Guide #1 - Corsair Cockpits: F4U-1 Family Staple Bound – January 1, 2022

If you have a detailed interest in the F4U and have always been confused about the various configurations in the cockpit of the Bent Wing Bird, this book is for you. The book is richly illustrated with photos and technical drawings to enhance the readers knowledge. This volume is a natural fit with the authors two previous books in the Aircraft Pictorial series on the F4U. If you are a modeler or someone with a deep interest in the F4U and looking for a book beyond the combat history of the aircraft give this book a look!

Definitely for the scale model enthusiast who is a “rivet counter”, but also anyone with an interest in the F4U-1. I thoroughly enjoyed it and an only wonder at the research that had to go into writing it!

For a self-published book, it is very well put together, great illustrations, and well laid out. The book contains cockpit detail that I have not yet seen in any other book. If you love the Corsair and want more detail about it, then grab this book. This is a limited run publication so don't wait too long to purchase.

Modelers in particular will come to depend on this book when detailing Corsair kits. Also, full scale aircraft restorers will benefit from the distinctions between batches and subcontractors.

This book will be very useful for detailing areas of Corsair cockpits that are not often seen as clearly in other books.
