Finding Drawing Rolls at NARA, F4U Corsair

Does anyone happen to know the publication and roll numbers for the F4U-1 series at NARA? If not, does anyone know how to go about finding them?
Alternately, if anyone has the rolls and would like them digitized, I would be happy to do it at my expense and return the digitizations with the rolls.

Understand that NARA will not sell you any engineering microfilm unless you can provide them with written authorization from whomever currently holds proprietary right for the F4U-1 design. Also realize that that entity is not obligated to provide you with that authorization! NARA should be able to identify the current proprietor (and likely will have a contact name and address to pursue).
Hope this helped.
