He was aboard his home carrier HMS Victorious as she later traded the icy waters of the North Sea for a new assignment in the Far East, where the Indian Ocean saw Sheppard develop from a talented novice pilot into an air ace, one of only two Canadian Navy aces and the Fleet Air Arm’s only Corsair ace of the Second World War. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring a hectic period of combat flying in the Indian Ocean, Sheppard was credited with at least four aerial victories, plus a couple more claimed as damaged, shared or probable. One of these victories saw him engaged in a lengthy combat with a Japanese fighter, which saw him giving chase to the enemy aircraft for over 20 miles at 20,000 feet. Once in shooting range, he fired on the enemy aircraft which almost immediately exploded in a ball of flame. However, Sheppard was flying so fast that he didn’t have time to take evasive action and his Corsair flew through the flaming debris, burning his aircraft’s tail and elevators. Thankfully, he managed to nurse his fighter back to HMS Victorious without further incident.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corgi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45940616003811,"sku":"AA33016","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/5000\/6243\/files\/pre-order-corgi-aa33016-172-corsair-mkii-jt537-1836-nas-rn-sub-lt-donald-j-sheppard-896919.jpg?v=1738269091"},{"product_id":"hobby-master-ha8220-1-48-f4u-2-corsair-midnite-cocktail-vmfn-532-usmc-saipan-april-1944","title":"Hobby Master HA8220 1:48 F4U-2 Corsair \"Midnite Cocktail\" VMF(N)-532, USMC, Saipan, April, 1944","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b7c18a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5b7c18a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b7c18a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5b7c18a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003eHobby Master HA8220 1:48 F4U-2 Corsair \"Midnite Cocktail\" VMF(N)-532, USMC, Saipan, April, 1944\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b7c18a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5b7c18a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b7c18a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5b7c18a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eThe engine was so massive and produced so much energy that a Hamilton Standard 13 feet 4 inch propeller, the largest of WWII, was required.
