Aviation Art Collecton - Scott McCuskey

E. Scott McCuskey was Born in February, 1915 in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was the top-scoring fighter pilot during the Battle of Midway and one of the Navys early aces. Lt. E. Scott McCuskey enlisted in 1938 and won his wings and ensigns commission in the Reserves in October 1939. He began the war with VF-42, originally a Ranger squadron, which was temporarily assigned to Yorktown (CV-5) in late 1941 for Atlantic Ocean neutrality patrols. Fighting 42 was equipped with some of the first F4F-3 Wildcats to roll off Grummans production lines. After Pearl Harbor, the new Wildcats and Yorktown were urgently needed in the Pacific, so VF-42s assignment to Yorktown became more or less permanent. He later joined VF-3 on Enterprise and then switched to Hellcats on Bunker Hill with VF-8.
Based on many years of experience in dealing with thousands of aviation signatures, we have estimated the value this signature adds to a print as £55
