Can anyone ID a mistake in the verbal? (there may be more than one actually).

1. Wing section behind leading edge fabric

2. Water injection worn out engine in minutes.

3. Main stay of USAF haha

As I seem to recall the Ailerons, Elevators, & Rudder of a Corsair were fabric covered during WW2?

Agreed but not the entire wing 😉

Early Corsairs had the outer wings bays aft of the main spar covered in fabric:

" the Corsair was also the last American-produced fighter aircraft to feature fabric as the skinning for the top and bottom of each outer wing, aft of the main spar and armament bays, and for the ailerons, elevators, and rudder"
