Where it came from
The Jolly Rogers, published in 1981 by Historical Aviation Album, serves as a specialized historical account of the United States Navy's VF-17 and VF-84 squadrons. Authored by John S. Alcorn, the volume was produced during a period of heightened interest in the legacy of carrier-based aviation, aiming to provide a meticulous technical and narrative history of the iconic fighter units known for their distinctive skull-and-crossbones insignia.
Alcorn’s work is characterized by its heavy reliance on archival photography and veteran recollections, reflecting the publisher's commitment to documenting aviation heritage with precision. The book was designed to function as both a reference manual for modelers and a tribute to the pilots who flew the F4U Corsair and later Grumman aircraft, receiving recognition within military history circles for its comprehensive assembly of unit records and combat chronicles.
