|
Aircraft History Built by Vought. Delivered to the U.S. Navy (USN) as F4U-1 Corsair bureau number 17448. Disassembled and shipped overseas to the South Pacific (SOPAC). Wartime History Assigned to the United States Marine Corps (USMC), Marine Air Wing 2 (MAW-2), Marine Air Group 12 (MAG-12), Marine Fighting Squadron 321 (VMF-321) "Hell’s Angels". No known nickname, nose art or squadron number. On January 20, 1944 this Corsair likely flew the mission against Vunakanau Airfield near Rabaul. The ultimate fate of this aircraft is unknown. Likely, it was written off or scrapped, but was not lost in combat or any accident. References USN / USMC Loss List incorrectly list this aircraft as piloted by Captain Marion R. McCown MIA January 20, 1944. This is in error. In fact, McCown went missing piloting F4U Corsair 02402. Contribute
