Not sure what group these Corsairs belong to. All the ebay listing states is:
"LARGE COLLECTION OF WWII AIRCRAFT GROUND PHOTO'S FROM A SOLDIER WHOM WAS IN HAWAII, MIDWAY, MARSHALL ISLANDS"
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-WWII-6 ... 2c9ead1238

What, No BuNos, No squadron markings, No tail codes, just useless Buzz/squadron aircraft numbers. Don't those people know that we would want to know more about them 70 years later...
