That sort of looks like Guy Joe, the Corsair pilot.

Yep, its Guy Joe Smith. He was a pilot and sponsor on N9964V. I worked close with him when I changed out the engine on the F4U in Lafayette, LA, back in the late 80's.

There's a couple of tramp stamps that didn't look to bad, one on the corsair, the other on the flight suit...

That corsair has had it's share of bumps and bruises over the years, still one of my favorites.
