Another nice film with a questionable narration at times.

Great shots of a formation of early Corsairs.
Too bad they didn't have some of those shots for Baa Baa Blacksheep.

Also, a Duck in color!

Y'all saw who owned those -1 Corsairs, right? :heart:

That footage would've been shot in Norfolk and maybe down near Moyock, NC. Fantastic stuff!

Love the shots of the well-worn F3F-3 in later ('42-'43?) markings - looks like BuNo 1498 - now I want to get the 1/32 Monogram kit and paint it up like that one!
