The only U.S. Navy Korean fighter ace Lt. Guy Bordelon smiles at the name plate on "Annie-Mo", his Vought F4U-5N Corsair fighter in which he shot down five enemy aircraft during the Korean War. Bordelon was assigned to composite squadron VC-3 Blue Nemesis, which was deployed to Korea on the aircraft carrier USS Princeton (CVA-37) from 24 January to 21 September to Korea as part of Carrier Air Group 15 (CVG-15). His aircraft, a Vought F4U-5N Corsair (BuNo 124453, NP-21), was left at an airbase in Korea and Bordelon was flown back to the Princeton. An U.S. Air Force Reserve pilot later crashed the plane in an accident.

The helicopter was returning Lieutenant Guy Bordelon, who had become the only U.S. Navy "ace" during the Korean War, after shooting down his fifth enemy plane the night before. Bordelon was assigned to composite squadron VC-3 Blue Nemesis, which was deployed to Korea on Princeton from 24 January to 21 September to Korea as part of Carrier Air Group 15 (CVG-15). His aircraft, a Vought F4U-5N Corsair (BuNo 124453, NP-21), was left at an airbase in Korea and Bordelon was flown back to the Princeton.

I have asked this question before but does anyone have a good picture of Lt. Guy Bordelon's second Annie-Mo that he was photographed in at San Diego after he returned from Korea (late 1953- early 1954). It was supposedly marked the same as, BuNo 124453, NP-21 except for BuNo. Also, another Corsair pin-up from
USS Princeton (CVA-37)
