Vought was commissioned to develop a night fighter variant of the F4U-1 and working with other companies managed to come up with the necessary radar needed for night operations. A total of 32 F4U-1s were converted to the new F4U-2 Night Fighter at the Naval Aircraft factory while 2 were completed on Kwajalein Atoll. As for the number of Japanese aircraft destroyed by these night fighters, it was low but the existence of these aircraft made the Japanese Air Force stop their night time bombing raids.
