Vought F4U Corsair – Cost: $4.1 million
The Corsair, depending on the specific aircraft, was built by either Vought, Chance or Goodyear. The first Corsairs were delivered to the U.S. Navy in 1942 and are credited with turning the tide in the Pacific theatre of World War II. The Corsair’s success in air-to-air combat against the Japanese Zero aircraft was legendary. Over 12,000 of the American-built fighter plane were produced, and its estimated that there are just shy of 50 left in the United States. The F4U Corsair was built under license by Goodyear at times, and a recent Goodyear FG-1D Corsair had a price tag of $4.1 million.
