pic properties says "VF-214" but that's obviously a typo. I'd say VMF-214 .... making it a Blacksheep bird. Maybe Boyington's.

I'm gonna say Chris Magee. It could also be Lindburgh, he flew with 214.

Answer:

Zoom in and compare profile with known VMF-214 fliers....

Okay, now for all you VMF-214 Hog fans, here's a chance to own your own F4U-1A...

Vietnam Corsair?  Kinda weird, but you mean A-7 Corsair II or just plain F4U Corsair before they retired in 1960s?
