Corgi F4U-1A Corsair 86 Lucybelle VMF-214 Major Gregory Pappy Boyington, USMC
One of the most colorful and well known aces of the Marine Corps, Major Boyington was founder and commanding officer of the VMF-214, the Black Sheep Squadron. The "Black Sheep" fought their way to fame in just 84 days, piling up a record 197 planes destroyed or damaged, troop transports and supply ships sunk, and ground installations destroyed, in addition to numerous other victories. After a long battle with cancer "Pappy" died in 1988.
The air war in Europe helped decide the outcome of the war. From the early dogfights between Spitfires and Messerschmitts in the skies over Britain to the bombing raids and fighter escorts late in the war, the history of this monumental conflict is rendered in striking detail and authenticity by Corgi. These aircaft can exhibited with the gear up or with the gear down and include the display stand.
