A magnificent color image of a Moto-Tug towing an F4U-5N Corsair aboard USS Philippine Sea (CV 47) during the
Korean War circa 1952. Can you imagine our newly-acquired Moto-Tug pulling our AD Skyraider in a similar fashion at
the next Summer of Flight event?

Same tractor and driver as above, from the other side:

And here's a picture from Inglewood, California (B-25C-models) - don't know the model of the tug though:

And another one from the same factory:

The Tractor in the black and white photo's may be a Ford or Ferguson model, the yellow tractor looks to be a Classic Clark Brand Tug.
