Re: Lt. Col. Donald K. Yost (VMF-351)
Thanks for the pictures, Jack!
The last one is very interesting. I assume this is the end of "FF57"? On land this amount of damage would be repairable, but I can imagine on a carrier it would probably have been pushed overboard. Do you know the story behind the pic (date and pilot)?
By the way, an interesting detail is the colour of the tail wheel assembly. I would have guessed they were all glossy sea blue by then, but clearly this one isn't.
Do you have any clue as to when exactly the yellow tail markings where applied?
