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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ6wcvCNVHI Also on this tape with more of the aftermath of the crash: https://archive.org/details/NPC-1500 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. http://www.aviationarchaeology.com/src/USN/F4U.htm Last edited by RSwank; 28th March 2015 at 00:53. |

The aircraft was 55984.
The following day, 22 March 1944, the squadron was ordered to convert to the F6F.
