Tom Blackburn signed card. CO of the \"Jolly Rogers\". VF-17. F4U Corsair:
$16.95

Signed white, unlined, 3x5 card By Tom Blackburn,USN.CO of VF-17...\"\"The Jolly Rogers\".Between Oct 1943,and early March,1944,this group was credited with 152 Japanese planes shot down,producing 13 aces in well under 5 months.Blackburn, only thirty-one years of age when he took over Squadron VF-17, was a warm and affable character to his men, but a demanding perfectionist. Flying the F4U Corsair, one of the first fighter planes to challenge the performance of the Japanexe Zero, Blackburn taught his pilots the fine points of both carrier operations and aerial combat.

After several devastating experiences, the Japanese would simply avoid contact with Blackburn\'s fighters unless there were bombers to stop. So the bombers flew with VF-17 to draw out the Zeros, and eventually Blackburn and his men cleared the skies over the Solomons. To quote Vice Admiral James Stockdale, USN (Ret): \"If ever a man was tailor-made to be an across-the-board role model and leader of men flying and fighting from ships at sea, it was Tommy Blackburn.\" These guys,folks,are MY heroes.Truly a \"job well done\"!!
