F4U Corsairs of Marine Fighting Squadron (VMF) 222 pictured lined up at an airfield on Samar, Philippine Island on March 10, 1945, sixty-nine years ago today. Squadron members painted the "Seabee" insignia on the cowlings of the aircraft in honor of the Navy Construction Battalion personnel that built the airfield from which they operated, adding "USMC" to the insignia to note that the aircraft were flown by Marines. VMF-222, the "Flying Deuces," had an official insignia, the centerpiece of which was three "2" playing cards.
