Please check any photos you might have of F4U-5N/-5NL types for Bureau Number '124541'. The Corsair currently owned by MeierMotors flew with the "Flying Nightmares" from February - November of 1952. No one has yet been able to determine which "buzz" number was applied to the plane during its deployment.

ACarey:

Good day!

Nice pic of heavy activities on the deck full of F4Us c. 1950s!

Does the pic have a specific date, aircraft carrier of that incident?? To find a NP F4U Corsair #42 is quite interesting. Plz tell us what the caption of that photo says.

p.s Are there any other angles of the same picture??

[ACarey]

I'll check and see what I can find. I didn't include it in the book due to poor quality.

I'll check and see what I can find. I didn't include it in the book due to poor quality.

Caption for VC-3 F4U: Flight deck personnel crowd around an F4U-5N Corsair of Composite Squadron (VC) 3, Detachment D, after it skipped over the barricade during recovery on board the carrier Antietam (CVA 36) dated 1951.

Tks again for the info & data. F4U-5N Buno 124715 (FAH 609) clipped the right wing with another unid aircraft around the same time frame.Korea c. 1951-1952.
