My uncle flew Corsairs in WWII with the USMC’s VMF-111 from the tiny atoll of Enjibi & Eniwetok, and principally bombed the island of Pohnpei (spelled Ponape during WWII) that was 350 miles away over water with no waypoints en route. It was one of the islands that were skipped over during the...

The creation of these new wings are a perfect example of those in leadership roles looking out for the morale and welfare of their troops. Given their unique design, it’s not as if anyone is going to be confusing them with pilots, navigators, or other functions. The big disc in the middle is a...
