F4F-4 VF-6

F4F-4 BuNo 5075 "black 20", flown by Machinist Ronald Eugene RUNYON, VF-6, USS Enterprise, August 24th, 1942.

 

This pack is coming with 3 blank skins. RUNYON is one of the US Navy's top-scoring enlisted Naval Aviation Pilot, and one of the 16 "Fighting Chief" of VF-2. Don RUNYON scored eight victories, and added 3 more after his promotion to Lt(Jg) grade.

 

You can see the "Tombstone" on right side of the fin, scored with 41 victories, gained by VF-6 between 7th and 24th August 1942 (Guadalcanal action).

 

The white band should be painted only on the left side, but a picture shown it was also painted on the right side.

It was used by the Landing Signal Officer to determine the F4F's attitude on approach.
