NOTE: This information and picture are from the F4U-1 Erection and Maintenance Handbook and was sent to me by Lex Cralley.
Lex recovered a full scale Brewster built F3A-1 Corsair (Bu. No. 04634) from a swamp in North Carolina and is in the process of restoring it.
Read about Lex and how he beat a lawsuit from the U.S. Navy here: [link=http://brewstercorsair.com/]Recovered Brewster F3A-1 Corsair[/link]
