Need Help in finding Unit Marking of an F6F-5

Sun Dec 28, 2008 8:32 pm

I have the Serial Number (77498) of an F5F-5 that was lost from the USS Randolph flying with VF 12 on 5/18/45. I'm trying to find out what the individual unit marking was. From pictures I have seen, they used a large number just aft of the cockpit.

Just wondering if anyone might know how to find it.

That would be VF-12 and VBF-12.
