One unusual store carried by the Corsair was an
ice-cream factory. Late in the war one squadron in
the Palaus found the action slow, and to stave off
boredom the ground crews rigged 19-liter (5 US

to a mixing rotor, and hooked up one under each
wing of an F4U. A pilot would take the aircraft up
to high altitude for a given period of time and then
come back to base with the ice cream.
