The Pacific Profiles series presents the most accurate WWII
profiles to date of aircraft which served in the Pacific theatre.
Volume Four focuses on the US Navy, US Marine Corps and RNZAF
squadrons which operated land based F4U series Corsair fighters
throughout the Solomons theatre from February 1943 onwards. The
distinctive markings schemes, unit heraldry and nose art varied
considerably between models and squadrons, the latter of which
developed their own particular markings themes and patterns. This
volume illustrates the precise markings of each Corsair squadron,
from the early "birdcage" F4U-1 series through to the later F4U-1A
"bubble" canopy models. Each profile is accompanied by supporting
photos along with a brief history of the aircraft. A wide range of
reference material was sourced to illustrate each profile,
including colour movie film, post-war wreck surveys, official
records, diaries and hundreds of photos. The author, Michael John
Claringbould, is world-renown for his expertise on both the Allied
and Japanese sides of the Pacific theatre. Never before have such
meticulous colour profiles of the Corsair family been illustrated
so accurately, and with such attendant detail.
