F4U Corsair
From Trekipedia
Manufactured by Vought, the F4U Corsair was a mainstay fighter plane of the United States military during World War II.[1] While exploring the amusement planet in the Omicron Delta region, Lieutenant Esteban Rodriguez inadvertently brought a Corsair and an A6M Zero into being with an errant thought. The Zero strafed his and Lieutenant Angela Teller's position, and Teller was struck by the plane's gunfire. Fortunately, the planet's computer revived her.[2]
