Specifically, I'm looking for photo documentation of the F2G-2's in Navy markings. BuNo 88459 is the only one for which I've seen any pics. I was hoping perhaps someone had something squirreled away.
Thanks.
Bob
Edit @ 8:12 PM EST: Photos of BuNo 88459 added. There is a 1/48 plastic model of this plane. The IPMS guys seem to have it covered pretty well.
Bob,
There is a book published in France titled
"Corsair 30 years of Filibustering" by Bruno Pautigny
ISBN: 2-913903-28-2Publisheres number: 2-91303
Histoire & Collections -- Paris
The book is available in English. I highly recommend this book for anyone with even a passing interest in the Corsairs. It covers the complete development and evolution of this airplane with drawings and tons of color and pictures of all variants.
Regarding the F2G, there are several pages and color profiles of the several airframes that were built. There are also several pages (
of color profiles and color paintings of the racing versions of these F2G machines.
The book is published on glossy paper, hard bound, is a bit pricey, but well worth the investment. It will not disappoint. You can find this at
