Description
The gritty black and white image is of an F4U-1A Corsair. The Corsair is one of the most iconic fighters of WWII. With its bent 'gull' wing to accommodate its 13 foot propeller, the aircraft was very recognizable. This particular aircraft, built in mid-1943, is one of the oldest F4Us still flying. This specific aircraft saw combat service in the Pacific Theater, in part, with the famed VMF-214 "Black Sheep" squadron commanded by Pappy Boyington. The vintage grainy, black and white image lends a timeless look.
