Famous WW2 Quote
"Since peace is now beyond hope, we can but fight to the end."Chiang Kaishek, 31 Jul 1937

Interesting markings on this aircraft. “Red Dot” National Insignia on top & bottom of both wings (seen in image 8139), 13 red & white rudder stripes, and blue, yellow, red propeller tips was a configuration that was only valid 5-Jan to 15-May-1942. This aircraft entered service on 15-March-1942, so in this case, the scheme was only valid for 2 months. The heritage of the F4U Corsair can be clearly seen in this image as well.
