Greets all,
I'm hoping some here may be able to assist in some way. I'm trying to
research
VF-31 F3H-2N Demons found on the 1958 CV-60 Med Cruise.
What I'm specifically looking for, are the Modex & matching BuNo's. of
a/c 105, 6, 7, 9, 10 & triple stix (111).
You can tell if you are looking at a VF-31 F3H-2N Demon of this time
frame by
seeing a Curved (not straight) chevron on the side of the fuselage
(straight, not slanted AC or K on tail). The last 4 digits
of the BuNo. will be on the vertical fin. No Felix on the fuse sides,
either.
I've scoured common references here, Ginter's Demon book, S/S Demon
book, S/S Carrier Aircraft units, FAOW Demon
book, The Monogram Navy & USMC aircraft color guide, the VF-31 website,
Demon Drivers website, (I have an request
posted there too).
Any tidbit would be appreciated, this is for a painting and some profile
illustrations.
Regards,
Stephen
