Hunter of The Pacific - Vought F4U Corsair by rOEN911 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

And you have sense of humor too! - PAV

(My father flew the F4U-4 at the end of WW2, but never saw combat in it [also flew the SB2C. Loved the Corsair and hated the Helldiver]. He flew combat in the F9F Panther jet in Korea as CO of the USS Oriskany' Panther squadron. I grew up in San Diego, Calif, which had a lot of WW2 vets, and heard many tales of war and heroism. I built plastic kits, and drove my teachers crazy with airplane doodles on the work pages. I've painted and drawn crazy aircraft for decades, and I love to make fun of the art.

So, please don't hold anything against me. Jimbo)
