same fellow, another day, another gift. see what happens when you let someone shoot your rare winchesters?
heres an aircraft i.d. plaque, only this one is for all of CHANCE VOUGHT aircraft, same time period, 39-43. its solid brass. and as you can see, its 100% NOS.
can you list all the a/c that were made by vought in that time span?

    If I rember correctly, Vought manufactured the Corsair during WWII.

    edit: Sorry, just read your other post.

    Again, to the best of my knowledge, East Hartford airport (coded UTX) for United Technologies, didn't have anything to do with the Corsairs, etc. They were made in the now Igor I. Sikorsky Memorial Airport, on Long Island Sound, Stratford, CT.

    Perhaps I should back off here and rethink this. I've always had people place doubt in my mind, after I thought I knew something. Joe

    EDIT: Another tidbit...F4U corsairs were solely Connecticut manufactured aircraft. Airframe-Vought/Stratford. Engine-Pratt&Whitney/Hartford. Propeller-Hamilton Standard/Hartford. Joe
