I am looking for drawings, or manuals of the rocket pylon/stubs fitted to F4U-1 & FG-1D Corsairs. As seen in these 2 photos. Any help much appreciated.




No.14 Squadron, RNZAF used the 60lb British 3" rockets as shown in this photo from 'J' Force at Bofu, Japan.

Thanks Juanita, I look forward to your email. Those certainly look the right shape for a Corsair fit. The Mustang had different shaped stubs, see pic.
