LOVE IT, GREAT SHOT
Was the Corsair a torpedo launching plane?
Watch Black Sheep Squadron on HERIC (Heroes and Icons on Sarurdays at 6PM Central for great Corsair real time movie footage of shoot downs, lots of flight time, Take Off’s and Landings of the dramatized World War II episodes of Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington and his USMC Attack Squadron 214, (The Black Sheep Squadron).
Sorry to disappoint the Mustang lovers (and I am one!) - but the Corsair is the most awesome fighter aircraft of WWII.
Great capture; love that folding, twisting gear!
