Re: Fade Corsair

That's a zoomed in view of the famous formation photo of 4 VF-17 Corsairs taken in March 1944 off of Bouganville near the end of their 2nd combat tour. #29 LTjg Ike Kepord, #8 Ens Hal Jackson, #3 Ens "Big Jim" Streig & #28 my dear friend Bill "Beads" Popp. What you're looking at is the remains of the tape used to seal the leaking fuel from the main fuel tank from coming through seams in the fuselage skin.
