Chance-Vought Corsair MkIV "Donald J. Sheppard"


Vought Corsair MkIV which is finished in the markings of Sub Lieutenant Donald J. Sheppard

Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve

No. 1836 Squadron, HMS Victorious

Sakishima Islands, East China Seas

May, 1945

 

Sheppard holds the distinction of being the only FAA Corsair ace of WWII. This Corsair is finished in Fleet Air Arm colours.

"Some sources state that the Corsairs were painted in US equivalents of Olive Drab, Neutral Gray and Sky Gray. This could very well be, but a colour photo I have, does not look like these colours. Furthermore, Dana Bell has stated in his Export Colors publication that some US aircraft were still being delivered in the proper British colours right up until war's end." So, that is good enough for me.

 

 

Place the file in your IL-2/paintschemes/skins/Corsair MkIV folder and have a great flight..

Compatable with PF and PF+FB+AEP
