Does anyone know what the Brewster logo looked like? I’ve trawled the net with a headache inducing lack of success. Did find the following artical enlightening:

Including the splendid description:”managers so worried about poor construction that they built a device to turn over the planes to shake off loose parts and forgotten tools”
It’s to try and identify part of a decal on a piece of the recently unearthed Corsair from Yeovilton, a Brewster built model. Thanks, Ian.

Thanks very much for the replies, I was wondering if it the logo looked like this decal on the throttle quadrant, but apparently not. The crash has took the lettering off the the middle bit, sod’s law. Thanks again, All the best, Ian.

do you have the crowood aviation book on the Corsair?
page 19 – has a Brewster poster featuring F4U production, as a “logo” much like the pilots wings above, not sure it will scan well, but will try if you like?
