The info I have is as follows:

With the surrender of Japan 82640 was returned to CASU F-47, Saipan, pending reassignment. By October 1944 the Corsair was with CASU F-13, New Guinea prior to transfer to NAS Pearl Harbor, Hawaii where it was held at Barbers Point aircraft pool.

Date out is listed as being 31/12/45

I am 'assuming' that it being stricken '7-4-V' would mean that the year would be 1946?

However, it is also reported that it was stricken on that date in 1948. I have yet to find out the source of that information, but it may be an assumption based on the fact that it went to the Virginia Museum in 1949......

If it were stricken three years after wars end I would think a year would have been noted on the card....or not! Thoughts?

Thanks
Dave
