How come they all believed that photo was from Normandy? That’s clearly a Corsair and they only flew in the Pacific, not Europe. They themselves said correctly that P 47s fought in Normandy. But it’s still a neat piece of history, I wouldn’t have let go for less than 4K

[@traveller4790]

I noticed the same thing right away. I also noticed that the "USMC" on the name tag explained two things: that this wasn't a jacket from the Army Air Corps unit that was at Normandy, and that the USN on the back of the collar was correct. Marine pilots were issued Navy gear since the Marine Corps was still a part of the Navy Department at that time. Instead of selling it at the pawn shop, I'd have put it up on e-bay or located a collector's group and tried to sell it that way.

[@yarielhernandez8199]

[@Camdo10858]

@@Camdo10858 Yes it is.

[@clearly_2967]

@@yarielhernandez8199 Yes, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the plane is CLEARLY a corsair. It looks quite different than any other plane from the period.

[@TheRealPunisher]

Id wear that jacket around the house with nothing else on.

[@jonnycomfort9271]

I wasn't aware that a USMC unit that's famous for fighting the Japanese--that was actually stateside in June 1944 flying training missions in Corsairs--was also at the same time flying P-47s with the USAAF in Europe. Must have been really hard to be in two places at once.

[@SlavicSpring]

How can a jacket worn by a pilot who fought the Japanese over the open ocean be worth less than a jacket worn by a pilot flying through open skies of France? Blows my mind.

[@loveofmangos001]

The Vought F4U Corsair was Pacific theatre only when used by the Americans. Only the Fleet Air Arm (RAF of the British Navy) used the Corsair in the European theatre. Mainly escorting Fairy Barracuda's in their attacks on the Nazi battleship Tirpitz.

[@iskandaradiyaputra1562]

[@dayward1]

Mr. Brown and this clip got along textlessly.

[@Razor-gx2dq]

Correction: the plane in the picture is an F4-U coursair. Also the pratt and whitney r2800 was used in the F6-F hellcat P47 Thunder bolt and the F4-U coursair. It was used in some bombers like the Martin B-26 Marauder

[@vdavis4785]

The writing on the photo (if anyone had bothered to read it) identifies the plane as a Corsair.

[@lucashernandez3891]

Dude really..... The USMC where never involved in the Overlord operation. That's clearly a Corsair in the picture what means Pacific Theater of Operations.

[@glenndower2513]

See my comment above. First thing I said "F4U not a P-47" And an early production F4U would mean the guy had a USN jacket.

In the photo, the pilot is standing on a f4u Corsair

[@lovatojonasfan1]

I also fear VMF should’ve given it away. To my understanding, no Army Air Corps squadron ever had a VMF designation

[@AusNav09]

The F4U corsair was actually extremely fast. For a prop plane especially. It had a massive propeller which made the gull wings necessary.
