The Life of William Shakespeare (1564â1616). Within the class system of Elizabethan England, William Shakespeare did not seem destined for greatness. He was not born into a family of nobility or significant wealth.He did not continue his formal education at university, nor did he come under the mentorship of a senior artist, nor did he marry into wealth or prestige. His talent as an actor seems to have been modest, since he is not known for starring roles.uring King James's reign, Shakespeare wrote many of his most accomplished plays about courtly power, including King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra. In 1609 or 1611, Shakespeare's sonnets were published, though he did not live to see the First Folio of his plays published in 1623.
AFAIK, US Corsairs were being used in combat as night fighters flying off USS Enterprise, some two months before FAA Corsairs flew their first combat mission from HMS Victorious during the beginning of April, 1944. This was, of course, before the Corsair became US carrier-qualified-which also occurred in April, 1944.
A land-based version, without the folding wing capability, was built by Goodyear as the FG-1A. In British service, the aircraft type was modified with clipped wings (was cut off each wingtip) for use on British aircraft carriers, under the designation Corsair Mk II.
