Wondering if the choice of an F4U for the plane was deliberate? I thought I recalled the Corsair had a nasty habit of eliminating pilots who bailed out via tail plane impacts, but couldn’t find any supporting data. Anyone know/remember?

The Corsair probably was the most common USN prop fighter in the late `40s, when the film was made.

I would see why the Corsair would be dangerous in that regard: thanks to some kludges in its development phase, the cockpit was way aft and pretty close to the tail.
