BuNo02100 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 For VF-9M birds and the red hubs and engine plate, I will have to look at my files at home. I think that Olimp may have gone a bit overboard since it wasn't until they received F7C-1s that they really started applying red to their birds. They did this to add some flash to the aircraft after they formed a "Demonstartion Team" called the "Rojos Diablos," so I think that might be premature on the F6C-4, but like I said, let me check my files this eveing.

Each has its own caption and are from the "Marine Fighting Squadron Nine" by Jess C. Barrow, which I had overlooked in my search for information on Navy Curtiss Hawks. Some more fromUS "US Navy &Marine Corps Fighters 1918-1962" by Paul Matt. Edited June 5, 2007 by flypaper2222 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
