Rare WWII Vought F4U Corsair Green Wingtip Recognition Light



Mounted on the underside of the Vought F4U Corsair’s starboard wingtip, this WWII Green Recognition Light is one of three (others being Red & Yellow/Amber) Unit Identification, flush-mounted, lights which could be preprogrammed to flash the Colour Code Sequence of the day or mission to identify the aircraft as a ‘friendly’ when approaching other aircraft, or upon landing.

With its plug and wiring still attached and mounted on its 100 year old mango wood display stand, complete with a highly detailed 1/72 or 1/48 scale model of this iconic fighter perched above on its removable magnetic arm, this Recovery Curios Original Aviation collectable also comes with a detailed colour printed and laminated Fact Sheet.

An amazing gift for any aviation enthusiast, this F4U Corsair Wingtip Recognition Light is an original battle hardened relic of this iconic WWII fighter and is guaranteed to become a popular conversation piece in any collection. 

* Note that this F4-U Collectable is pictured with a 1/48 scale model rather than the standard detailed, but smaller 1/72 scale. Click on the ‘Model Upgrade' option at the top of this page for the larger 1/48 scale as displayed here.
