| Description |
English: A U.S. Naval Air Reserve Vought F4U-4 Corsair of Fighter Squadron 884 (VF-884) "Bitter Birds" launching from the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Boxer (CV-21) off Korea. A Sikorsky HO3S-1 plane guard helicopter of Helicopter Utility Squadron 1 (HU-1) Det. F "Pacific Fleet Angels" is standing by. Both squadrons were assigned to Carrier Air Group 101 (CVG-101) aboard the Boxer for a deployment to Korea from 2 March to 21 October 1951. Original description: "Deck Launch -- Visible rings of vapor encircle a Corsair fighter as it turns up prior to being launched from the USS Boxer for a strike against communist targets in Korea. Hovering to the stern of the aircraft carrier, the every-present helicopter plane guard stands by to assist if any emergency arises." |
