Re: Pacific Air crash?

The crash of a F4U Corsair (I-OF-12) on the USS Charger, March 1944.

See the 3:39 mark of the video.

Also on this tape with more of the aftermath of the crash:

Note: the USS Charger was used as a training carrier on the East Coast of the US.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Charger_%28CVE-30%29

This link has two F4U crashes on the Charger on 21 March 1944. Probably one of those.

Re: Pacific Air crash?

The aircraft was 55984.

The following day, 22 March 1944, the squadron was ordered to convert to the F6F.
