Very cool picture. That's a really early -1 too, as it doesn't have the modifed canopy with the bulge in the top and rear armor plating. Do you know anything more about it. Is a Bu.No. visible?
Cheers,

F4U-1 on a acceptance test flight.
The B/N is a 2" high in the verticle stabilizer.
Good luck making it out
