Actually that is a Korea-era version LOL!! Excellent shot otherwise!
"The US roundel added a pair of white bars during World War II, becoming the famous "Stars and Bars" insignia; a red bar bisecting the white was added in 1947 when the United States Air Force became a separate service."
Not sure what version of Corsair, but you might be able to find it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F4U_Corsair

There's a guy who has one of these in full USN markings and he keeps it at Skyhaven Airport here in Rochester, NH. In the summer time you see it on the tarmac every so often, but you DEFINITLY know when it's flying. Those old piston motors have a very distinct sound and to hear that rumble and look out and see it clearing the treetops is amazing.
