Howdy everyone! Today I’d like to suggest a skin for the F4U-1A flown by Greg “Pappy” Boyington.

Boyington was a USMC fighter pilot who flew in the pacific during WW2. His first taste of combat was over China with the AVG (American volunteer group). In early 1942 he left the Flying Tigers and returned to the U.S. and accepted a majors commission with the USMC. After serving with two other squadrons (VMF-122 and VMF-112) he was put in command of VMF-214, the Black Sheep. He is credited with shooting down 28 aircraft over his career as a fighter pilot. During a sweep over Rabaul, Boyington was shot down. After a long search perused, he was declared MIA. However he did survive being shot down and would spend the rest of the war in a Japanese POW camp, until he was liberated after the dropping of the atomic bombs and Japan surrendering.

His F4U-1A while flying with the Black Sheep is the one I am suggesting today. :)

Absolutely +1. The F4U-1A in the game needs a tricolor scheme camouflage.

Edit: I just realized the F4U-1A (USMC) in the game already has the “Luckybelle,” which is also a tricolor scheme. However, the regular F4U-1A (2.7) has the only unicolor scheme. It could receive that one, or the F4U-1A (USMC) can have more such schemes.

Yeah. A few minutes after I suggested this I realized I should have made it for the USMC corsair, but then also realized that there were also only unicolor skins for it. So it’s kind of a trade offish. I might change it or make a new one for the USMC one :)
