[rwright142]

Can anyone provide me with information on the F4U-1A Corsair flown by Lt. JG Jim Streig when he flew #3 with the Jolly Rogers? I don't know the BuNo or anything else and would appreciate any information you can share.

Here's "Big Jim" beside his Corsair:

Some I found on the web, may add to your info collection. Bill
