Conant claimed six kills with VMF-215 flying as Bob Owens’ wingman, before going on to lead his own section. On 30 August 1943 he was on ground alert at Munda with his F4U when Ken Walsh appeared and ‘stole’ it. Walsh’s F4U-1 (BuNo 02585) had a supercharger problem, so he landed at Munda and Capt Neefus, CO of VMF-215 gave him permission to take a readied F4U as a replacement -- source link
