Title: WIP VMF-217 Ring-Dang-Doo F4U.... -1A
Post by: whiteman on May 19, 2021, 07:26:53 PM

Not much info other than a single photo and it was a F4U-1A with VMF-217 on Peleliu, 1944. It looks like it has been repainted and covered most the Intermediate Blue. Profiles show the art on both sides but they also show a white nose and i haven't seen a photo of either. I do have the art on both sides for now.
