Re: F4U-1A
NATURALLY my F4U files are unavailable, stored somewhere in that warehouse with the Ark of the Covenant. Hard to believe the Naval Institute Book was published in 19-ought-79. However...
The -1A designation appeared on a Vought/LTV timeline that the PR shop provided me during the research phase. I suspect that it was (or became) a company designation that was not formally adopted by BuAer. But I do know that some squadrons made the distinction, including VF-17.

http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.o...f4u-1a-ads.jpg This report uses the term F4U-1A (BuNo 17930) through out. It also seems to indicate two seperate models, F4U-1 (02390) & F4U-1A (17930) http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.o...1-navycomp.pdf
