                        How many did he fly for his 25 victories with VMF-214 and 215?
                        What was their colours and numbers?
                        Can you recommend the best colours and decals for me to use?
                        Can I find any pictures?
                        All help very much appreciated!

                        The Osprey book on Corsair aces has an illustration of one of Hanson's Corsairs. It is from VMF-215, and is F4U-1A BuNo 17596. It has the standard "3-tone" camoflage scheme with #596 in front of the national insignia. No personal markings of any kind.
