A page from a naval aviator's wartime scrapbook features an F4U Corsair fighter crew, a solo aviator portrait, and an F4F Wildcat in flight, all associated with Santa Barbara. The handwritten note recalls the Corsair's reputation as 'a dangerous plane' that the Navy initially refused to operate from carriers - a detail confirmed by history before the aircraft became a celebrated Pacific War fighter. Part of the Pat McAleer collection. Project: 218186
