Troy Smith Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 while searching for something else, ran across these Vought FG-1D, No 600, "Miss Lace", VMF-122, pilot 1Lt Don Wilson, Peleliu, 1945 there are more showing up on google from a defunct site if you image search the thread topic Maybe @Dana Bell can add some background on these? I'm sure this is old news for some, but I've not seen them before, I the badge below the windscreen is the VMF-122 badge A quick search (got to go out soon) has not turned up any AM decals) which I'm surprised about, are tehre any? cheers T 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I think there are decals, I just can’t find the source now. Recently a family member posted information about Don Wilson. I can’t find it at the moment. Nor do I recall which website. Edited November 9, 2017 by Scooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Very good depiction as to how the Goodyear-Applied GSB weathered in the field. IIRC, Dana Bell said that the GSB did not hold up in the combat environment as well as the Navy liked, and maybe not as well as we'd been led to believe. Seems the paint not only went from gloss, to semi-gloss, to flat, but it may have faded as well, though that might be explained away by flat finishes reflecting more light and appearing light in colour. That paint scheme BTW is a relatively recent discovery and hasn't yet been done to death.......unlike a certain Corsair, based on a certain aircraft carrier, where the pilots needed a direction telling the pilots where they should go after they take off..... -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
