The outline of a U.S. Marine Corps gull-wing Corsair fighter is silhouetted against the setting sun at Kwajalein Island in
the Pacific during World War II. 2nd Lt. Magill took the picture of his plane and used it on Christmas cards he sent friends

Vichy French 5° escadrille Dewoitines at Eleusis airfield, Athens in May 1941.
From Groupe de Chasse III/6 - Pierre Le Gloan flew with this unit in plane n° 6 (n°277).
The D 520 were replaced from may 1st, 1943 with P-39Qs that, oddly enough were universally hated...
Reequipped from december 8, 1944 with P-47 D.

Notably as these were used hand me down from the USAAF...
Good stuff!
