Is it possible to see the Bu No on the original? Bu No 2527?? And what about the code 42-F-something? Stig
SDASM Archives said:
Stig Jarlevik Actually might be 2627
Stig Jarlevik said:
Thanks again Yes 2627 looks more likely Stig

BuNo 2627 was an N3N-3, which became civil N45046. This is probably F4F-3 BuNo 2527 (VF-42) which was possibly lost May 4-8, 1942, in the Battle of the Coral Sea.
Stig Jarlevik said:
You are correct Batman Even though 2627 looks better it can't be as you correctly point out this was a N3N-3, so Bu 2527 it has to be. Forgot to double check.... Stig

Note the motion picture on the tripod camera. Here is some of the raw movie footage captured at Kaneohe NAS in (May?) 1942. YouTube - CriticalPast "US Navy Fighter pilots of VF-3 sit near an F4F and converse at Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii during World War II"
