Jack,
I'm an author of WWII and naval aviation books (INTREPID, most recently) and just finishing a book about the air/sea battle of Okinawa. Windy Hill, the subject of one of the Corsair photos, is in the book, and I'm wondering if you have a high res copy of the shot of him in the F4U? Would be most useful.

Hey Jack how about some early VF-17 on the USS Bunker Hill.
Or some VF-18 Hellcats that replaced them in Oct 1943 to early 1944.
