The F4U-5N Corsair was the night version of the legendary F4U Corsair aircraft, produced by Vought. The F4U-5N version was developed in response to the United States Navy's requirement for a fighter capable of night operations. It featured the AN/APS-6 radar installed in a pod on the right wingtip and was heavily armed with four 20 mm cannons.

These aircraft were used mainly by the United States, as well as by several other countries, including Argentina and Honduras, primarily during the Cold War period. Their first combat deployment took place during the Korean War (1950–1953). The F4U-5N Corsairs were known for their outstanding operational capabilities in harsh conditions and their robust construction, which earned them a reputation in numerous combat missions, especially in night operations against both ground and aerial targets.
