      My father was the chIef electrical inspector for Chance-Vought Corsairs. He brought me to the CT factory many times. I saw hundreds of Corsairs come out the factory. door, power-up and take off over the Sound. Thee F4U`s headed to Britain were painted all white with the names of the workers` kids painted in black on the tails. I learned to fly at 14 when I flew a Stearman cropduster up`n here mountains with a Texas jock. In those days we didn`t bother with a license. We just flew.
