I'm looking for a photo of (or several photos from different angles) an F4u-4 Corsair from the VBF-94 group from the USS Lexington. My uncle flew this type Corsair with this squadron and was shot down and killed over Japan on July 24, 1945. I have finally found a photo of a F4U-1D with the VBF-94 markings, but need to know if the markings are the same. I can find nearly all the Marine squadrons and a lot of the Navy, but I need this one so I can build a memorial model. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Your uncle didn't happen to be Lt. Boggs ?

Yes, my uncle's name was Ralph Edwin Boggs. My Mom's oldest brother and everyone called him Edwin. I didn't get to meet him as I was born 1951, but I'm in contact with his former wife. She sent me a picture of him in his flyer's outfit and also sent me some record copies.
My name is Guice Howell.

Welcome to WIX, you'd get better response to your inquiry if you posted it in the WARBIRD HANGAR as well as here, we've got a bunch of Navy squadron experts hangin' around here-
Good Luck with your efforts
