An exceptional Korean War G-1 Flight Jacket of impeccable combat
pedigree. VF-721 ('Starbusters') deployed to Korea from 2 March to 24
October 1951, flying Grumman F9F-2B Panthers aboard USS Boxer (CV-21).
Presumably Cdr. Hotvedt then transferred to VAN-5 (VC-35) and VC-61(A
Flight) for Corsair night attack missions.
