Please check any photos you might have of F4U-5N/-5NL types for Bureau Number '124541'. The Corsair currently owned by MeierMotors flew with the "Flying Nightmares" from February - November of 1952. No one has yet been able to determine which "buzz" number was applied to the plane during its deployment.

Good day!

Nice pic of heavy activities on the deck full of F4Us c. 1950s!

Does the pic have a specific date, aircraft carrier of that incident?? To find a NP F4U Corsair #42 is quite interesting. Plz tell us what the caption of that photo says.

p.s Are there any other angles of the same picture??

I'll check and see what I can find. I didn't include it in the book due to poor quality.
