(thx Except for the the P-51 switching to the RR engine, I never knew we used equipment sourced from the Land of Lucas engineering.)

Interesting thing about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_F4U_Corsair:
It was built around the engine. Getting the biggest fattest paddle propellers on it required drooping the wings for the landing gear thus the shape.

The other aircraft to use that same engine were:
Canadair CL-215
Convair CV-240 family
Douglas A-26 Invader
Douglas DC-6
Grumman F6F Hellcat
Martin B-26 Marauder
Republic P-47 Thunderbolt
Sikorsky CH-37 Mojave
