I always liked that picture of the F4U-1Ds and FM-2 Wildcats (and the lone little Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon at the end of the back row). Taken in late 1944. If anyone ever wanted to know the Navy's thoughts on the future of the F6F Hellcat, one only need look at that picture.

My father, Donald R, Wilson, was assigned to Marine Fighting Squadron VMF-121 and also assigned to VMF-122 while based on the island of Peleliu, in the Western Caroline Islands of the Pacific Ocean
