The French Aeronavale needed a powerful carrier-born plane for the Arromanches, Bois-Belleau and Lafayette aircraft carriers, faced with the Indochina conflict since 1945. A version, The F4U-7 (dubbed "For French Only"), was specially developed to fulfill this need. It was equipped with a powerful P&W R-2800-18W 2100hp engine, and made its first flight on July 2nd 1952.
