Avino Fri, 19 Dec 2008 01:03:18 +0000 #comment-22581 I met Maj. Donahue at an airshow in Stratford, Connecicut in 2005 at Sikorsky Airport across the street from a closed U.S. Army tank plant that was the Vought-Sikorsky then Chance Vought plant where F4U Corsairs were made during WWII. He was quite an interesting man and I have an autographed photo of him and VMF-212 that was shoen in the Aviation History article. A fellow Connecicut National Guardsment that I worked with made tail sections for the Corsair at the plant during WWII. THe gentlemen is also in the famous photo of Igor Sikorsky making the first VS-300 helicopter flight in 1939. I met Maj.
