Looking for an old issue of Flying

I'm looking for a 1942/1943 issue of Flying magazine. It has a "cartoon" of my Uncle Sam Folsom and his wing man sinking a Jap Destroyer using machine guns in their F4-Fs. My issue got tossed out when I was in the Navy. Does anybody know of such a magazine?
 
I'm sorry Helldiver, I went through my cache of wartime Flying magazines but was unable to find that drawing. I have had these magazines for over fifty years and I have seen that drawing many times. It is very possible that the particular issue has been misfiled so I will keep looking.
 
Well it was better than 66 years ago. It might be later than you have. However if you remember the picture than maybe you've got it. He was a Captain in the Marines at the time.
