Re: F4U-1A

Theory

There was a C and a D and some historian, not understanding the USN system and thinking it worked in the same way as the USAAF, decided there must be an A and a B to fill the gap. Conveniently there were two different canopies, surely they must denote the missing sub types!

Theory may fall down as I do not know what would constitute the B
