Corsair KD431 - Preserving The Time Capsule Fighter Revisited (Paperback, 2nd edition)

In 2000, the Fleet Air Arm Museum conservation team embarked on an
ambitious project to explore what remained of any original
paintwork and markings on its Second World War Corsair fighter
aircraft. The painstaking, inch-by-inch removal of a 1960s paint
layer from the whole aircraft slowly revealed that the entire
aircraft remained authentic and original in its 1940s wartime
condition. The detailed forensic approach allowed the valuable and
many unique details to be studied and preserved, enabling the team
to chart the aircraft's history from factory to end of Royal Navy
service. Thanks to new research, this updated edition of Corsair
KD431 contains new images and findings concerning the story of how
Lt Cdr Godfrey Woodbine-Parish returned from Ceylon in the Second
World War, and also the use of Brewster Aircraft components on
Goodyear factory-built aircraft.
