Actually, I wonder if the whistling/shriek effect is due to the engine or the wings?

I read the book (by the same name) and, although it's been a while, IIRC it was the wings.

Gorgeous airplane. I like Stukas too, another "screamer" that scared the Bleeped text outta everyone being bombed….

My first time to hear that! I can imagine the psychological effect on someone as the Corsair closes in. Thanks!

Specifically, it's the cooling-air inlets in the wing roots.

My former next door neighbor, God rest his soul, was a Navy Aviator who flew Corsair's as a flight instructor. He was one brave man sitting behind those wet behind the ears trainees having no possibility of escape should things go badly mid-flight. Training Corsair's were simply standard production models with the equipment behind the seat removed and a platform where the instructor would lay flat on his stomach was added. Talk about rudimentary! Anyhoo salut y'all!
