U.S. Navy Pilot's Flight Logbook, October 1946 Entry — FG-1 Corsair Flight, NAS Oakland
This page from a U.S. Navy pilot's flight logbook records a solo flight on October 19, 1946, in an FG-1 Corsair (bureau number 92025) based at Naval Air Station Oakland, California. The FG designation identifies the aircraft as a Goodyear-built version of the famed Vought F4U Corsair fighter, one of thousands produced under wartime subcontract. Entries like this one, part of the McAleer collection, illustrate the routine record-keeping required of naval aviators and document continued Corsair operations from stateside bases in the year following the end of World War II.
