RE: For those who love World War Two Fighters
"Dear Mirwin
My history is letting me down a bit here.
What did the Corsairs come up against during the Korean War.
Was it Mig 15's, if so how did they fare against them.
Regards Phil G.
PS. What a beautiful Aeroplane the Corsair is, that's another one on the list."
Phil G., the F4U was used for close ground support but, as I recall, a Corsair did manage to shoot down a Mig-15 one time. Here are a couple more photos just for grins. The Rendova is the jeep carrier that VMF-212 flew off of but sometimes they flew from ground bases in S. Korea. I guess you can tell I'm proud of my father.
Notice the damage to the plane that just landed on the carrier, proof that straight & level at low altitude is a NO NO.
