The F4U Corsair and 'Devotion'

November 23rd marks the release of the second great Naval Aviation movie of 2022, Devotion, except unlike the previous--this one is based on actual events. Korean War F4U Corsair pilots Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner became the U.S. Navy's most celebrated wingmen for events expertly described in a book of the same title by Mr. Adam Makos. On this episode, our warbird cohost Trevor "Boat" Boswell returns to celebrate the movie release with an interview conducted by FPP friend Rick "Nack" Hartnack with former U.S. Marine Corps F-4 Phantom pilot and current F4U Corsair owner John French. After, Mr. Makos joins Boat to discuss his book and involvement in the movie adaptation.
