ID this aircraft?

Here is a Helldiver at the very beginning of restoration after being disassembled and cleaned. This aircraft spent a while at the bottom of Lake Michigan where it was crashed during WWII by a student pilot attempting a carrier landing. This was shot last week at the restoration facility at The Naval Air Museum on base at NAS Pensacola.

Below that a F4 Corsair in about the same stage.

always amazes me that they can take a plane in the condition of the photos, and completely restore it!

You're welcome. That's quite an amazing journey isn't it? The two machinists I know who volunteered their time introduced me to this several years ago.
