Description
Relic - Known History
This aluminum fragment, once part of the starboard wing of a Goodyear-built FG-1D Corsair, Aircraft No. 92095, tells a story of service spanning decades and two significant conflicts. The wing panel, removed during restoration in 2022, came from beneath the iconic American Star emblem and was provided to Aces In Action in order to complete a commission art piece to commemorate its historical journey.
About Corsair 92095
First taken into service by the United States Navy in April 1945, Corsair No. 92095 was assigned to Bombing Fighting Squadron 80 (VBF-80) aboard the USS Boxer (CV-21) during the final months of World War II. Known for its rugged design and powerful performance, the F4U Corsair played a pivotal role in both air-to-air combat and ground attack missions in the Pacific theater.

Sample Corsair relic used in art piece
After the war, in 1957, the aircraft was transferred to the Salvadoran Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña) and redesignated FAS-220 as part of the U.S. Military Assistance Program. This Corsair saw combat once again during the 1969 Football War (also known as the Soccer War), a brief conflict between El Salvador and Honduras. On 14 July 1969, Salvadoran forces, including FAS-220, attacked Honduran airfields using a mix of aircraft, including P-51 Mustangs and C-47 Skytrains. The Corsair was involved in these operations and even sustained minor anti-aircraft fire damage to its port wing.
Following its military service, Corsair No. 92095 was placed on static display at the Evergreen Air Museum. In recent years, it has been undergoing restoration at Airpower Unlimited in Jerome, Idaho, to return the aircraft to flying status. This relic, preserved from the original airframe, serves as a testament to the Corsair’s enduring legacy, from the Pacific battles of WWII to its role in a 20th-century regional conflict.
