Here's some nice color shots of my friend Don Wilson and the corsair he flew with VMF-122 under ace Don Sapp on Pelilu in 1944-45.

Ready for a mission, Don poses with the "Dragon Lady" artwork. Remember her from the comic strip Terry and the Pirates by Milton Caniff??

That is really cool. nose art on Navy stuff is not as common as it was on the USAAF aircraft.
