This design is based on the F4U Corsair #205 flown by Lt. (J. G.) Thomas Hudner Jr . During the Korean War, on 4 December 1950, Hudner and his wingman Ensign Jesse Brown were among a group of pilots on patrol near the Chosin Reservoir when Brown's Corsair was struck by ground fire from Chinese troops and crashed. In an attempt to save Brown from his burning aircraft, Hudner intentionally crash-landed his own aircraft on a snowy mountain in freezing temperatures to help Brown. In spite of these efforts, Brown died of his injuries and Hudner was forced to evacuate, having also been injured in the landing.  Hudner was subsequently awarded the Medal of Honor for these actions.

This was a great bag we bought for AirVenture last year. Great designs and quality.

Some of the items seem a bit pricey but the quality is great and they have the coolest designs you can't get anywhere else.
