ocsfollowme Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share #677 Posted February 18, 2023 The only one that I have ever seen, besides what is on the website. Very rare, and during the 1938-1942 time frame. Aircraft: F4U, SB2U, and OS2U. Also, VS-316A was flown in 1942.

ocsfollowme Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share #678 Posted February 18, 2023 Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Company During World War II (1939–1945), Kelsey-Hayes contributed to the war effort by producing machine guns. Kelsey-Hayes also manufactured tank components and aircraft wheels. During the Korean War Kelsey-Hayes produced parts for the aircraft industry. They also promoted specialty products for the automobile industry such as chrome-plated and aluminum wheels. In 1958 the company's research and development department began looking into anti-lock brake systems (ABS) for automobiles—prior to this, the ABS was only used in aircraft. With so much diversification of its product line, Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Company saw fit to change its name to Kelsey-Hayes Corporation in the late 1950s.

militbuff Posted June 26, 2023 Share #688 Posted June 26, 2023 It looks like the WAIT tab means “Women Aircraft Instrument Technicians.” Says so on the front cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
