F4U-1D and FG-1D Corsair Rocket stubs.

[Barf]

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.

Hi Barf

I'll email you directly...in the meantime, here is an extract from some drawings entitles 'Rocket Installation (HVAR Project)'...I think it was for a P-51.

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.
