Re: Korean War photos

Nick,

Thanks for letting me see those beautiful Corsair profiles.

It seems that VMF312 had two '530' Corsairs at Okinawa. The first, 57530, an F4U-1D, was lost on 6 May 1945, while the second, FG-1D 76530, was received the same month. They were accepted by the Navy in July and December 1944 respectively, so both should have been in Sea Blue Gloss.
