Re: F4U-4 in action in Okinawa, 1945
Hi, Frank
I don't have this book. Barrett Tillman's Vought F4U Corsair (Warbirdtech Series) list three squadrons: VMF-212 - 36 F4U-4 Awase, Okinawa VMF-222 - 32 F4U-4 Anase, Okinawa VMF-223 - 31 F4U-4 Awase, Okinawa I'm searching especially photos of F4U-4 Corsairs used of marines, in Okinawa, june 1945. I found only two photos of F4U-4 of VMF-212 and VMF-223, in the book F4U Corsair in Color - Fighting Colors (Squadron/Signal Publications), p. 25, by Jim Sullivan. Cheers, Franklin |

Re: F4U-4 in action in Okinawa, 1945
Could not begin to tell you which squadron was flying what aircraft without dragging out a bunch of books and such, but a list, distilled from data in Sherrod, of VMF and VMF(N) squadrons operating out of Okinawa and Ie Shima in the period April though June 1945 looks like:
VMF-113 VMF-212 VMF-222 VMF-223 VMF-224 VMF-311 VMF-312 VMF-314 VMF-322 VMF-323 VMF-422 VMF-422 VMF-441 VMF(N)-533 VMF(N)-542 and VMF(N)-543 Rich |
