The FG-1 was the designation for Corsairs that were license-built by Goodyear, to the same specifications as the Vought Corsairs. Goodyear began delivery of FG-1 Corsairs in April 1943, and continued production until the end of the war, delivering around 4,007 FG-1 series Corsairs, including sixty to the RNZAF and 857 to the RN as Corsair Mk IVs.
