This site is for the restoration of the Corsair Memorial that is located at the Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Stratford, Connecticut where thousands of Corsairs rolled out of the factory, across Main Street, and on to the tarmac of the airport for their first flight.

The Corsair is to honor the people that built them, the people that flew them, and to honor the war effort and achievement of Connecticut’s aircraft workers at United Aircraft, Pratt and Whitney, Hamilton Standard and the Vought-Sikorsky companies in the production of the only major combat aircraft of World War II that was the product of a single state, Connecticut.

About 12,500 Corsairs were built between 1938 and 1945, the longest continuous production of any World War II-era aircraft.

The Connecticut Air and Space Museum has taken on the project to restore the Corsair Memorial that is located at the Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Stratford, Connecticut.
