That's a good question... I would definitely do a lot of image searching before I made a decision. On WWII aircraft the seat parachute doubled as a seat cushion, and usually had some sort of survival kit in the set up. Backpack chutes of the Korean War single seat fighters often had something to do with the ejection seat. But since the F4U never had that sort of seat, that is not as issue. I am pretty sure that the Air Force had switched to backpack type 'chutes for aircrew by the time of Korea, but the Navy & Marines had completely separate flight gear.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
