A VF(N)-101 F4U-2(N) Corsair night fighter on Enterprise CV-6's No. 2 elevator, 20 January 1944. Note the radar pod on the leading edge of the wing facing camera.

Richard Mathsen notes "The separation between the Intermediate Blue and the Sea Blue is lower on the forward fuselage than on standard F4U-1's and -1A's . The fuselage sides were not overpainted in black or Sea Blue, as has been erroneously published elsewhere."
