The Corsair main gear rotates before retracting aft into the wing.
What is the degree of rotation?? hint, it's not 90'
If I'm wrong an old letherneck F4U maintainer lied to me

To be precise (since I'm a know-it-all and feel the need to prove it constantly) the Corsair gear rotates AS it is retracting, not before...
