http://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2015/07/its-not-that-easy-to-avoid-error.html

http://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

The content is very similar to Volume 1 (see http:/ tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2014/12/aircraft-pictorial-7-f4u-1-corsair-vol-1.html. It covered the development history and configuration development of the "Birdcage" Corsairs in impressive detail with many previously unpublished photos and new information. This one does the same for the "Raised Canopy" F4U-1s that succeeded them in production. You will not be disappointed.
