A Marine Corps aviator sits in the cockpit of his F4U Corsair fighter, stenciled with his name and rank beneath the canopy rail -- a common practice identifying pilots and their assigned aircraft. This photograph comes from the 1945 album of VMF-214, the legendary 'Black Sheep Squadron' made famous under Major Gregory 'Pappy' Boyington, documenting the unit's continued Corsair operations in the Pacific during the war's final year.
