U.S. Navy/Marine Corps Pilot Flight Logbook, February 1951 — F4U-4B Corsair Combat Sorties, Korean War (Armed Recon, Strike–Sonchon, DAS Hanbungni)
This page from a Korean War-era Navy/Marine Corps pilot's flight logbook records three F4U-4B Corsair combat sorties flown in February 1951: an armed reconnaissance mission, a strike near Sonchon, and a direct air support mission near Hanbungni. With a grand total of 1,197.3 logged flight hours, this modest ledger captures the routine yet perilous rhythm of carrier-based close air support flown over Korea during the war's early years.
