Plane captain, in shorts, climbs into cockpit of an F4U corsair airplane of Marine Aircraft Group 11 (Number 525 on fuselage). Marine pilot hands him his seat pack parachute, which the plane captain places into the seat. The pilot climbs into cockpit, as plane captain stands on right wing and gives thumbs up for engine start. The engine does not start, so he walks along wing to check the engine. The scene is repeated, with plane captain scrambling over the fuselage again to a position on the wing for engine start. This time the engine starts. He clambers back to cockpit and helps pilot with his shoulder harness. Another view of this shown in closeup from left wing of the aircraft.
