I've heard the reason for the gull wing was to keep from having to make the main landing gear too tall to prevent a large prop from striking the ground.
If you look at the pictures above...if it had a straight wing, the huge prop would have hit the ground.

Anyone lese heard this?

My grandfather flew Corsairs briefly in WWII and this was his explanation for it when I asked him way back when. Of course he wasnt the Engineer.
