Worked the last two weeks at the different models which were built by Vought-Lavochkin. So this set will concludes the Vought-Lavochkin serial types.
The A-23D model was also delivered to the USN as F3UL-2D. Here is one from VMF-221.
When Vought-Lavochkin started with their F3UL, the first model F3UL-1A was tested by the USN. Here is the aircraft from O'hare from VF-3 in early 1942
Their F3UL-1B model was used by several British squadrons. Also by a Dutch squadron 322. After the war it was repainted and send to Airbase Twenthe.
The F3UL-2B model was also used by the USAAF as the 2BS-version which had a tailhook for decklandings and takeoffs. Here is one used in the Operation Torch.
More to come...
