Story of the Corsairs:
During the 76 days Ira Cassius Kepford spent with VF-17 "Jolly Rogers" he shot down 16 enemy aircraft. His first F4U was BuNo. 17684 "White 29" and served him well during his first 13 kills. On January 30, 1944 15 Corsairs from VF-17 were escorting TBFs on a raid on Rabaul and encountered about 25 Japanese Zekes along with Tonys and Zeros. Several Japanese fighters were destroyed with the loss of several Corsairs. Kepford claimed one Zeke and one Tony but "17684" was damaged and ground looped on landing destroying the aircraft.
