Summary
editDescriptionF6F-5N F6F-5 CVE-87 1944-45.jpg | Two U.S. Navy Grumman F6F Hellcats prepare to take off from the escort carrier USS Steamer Bay (CVE-87), 1944/45. The plane on the catapult is an F6F-5N night fighter, and has an APS-6 radar installed in a starboard wing-mounted radome. Both aircraft had obviously been ferried by the escort carrier as squadron or carrier markings had not yet been applied. Since there is a blackened area on the tail of the F6F-5N, maybe the wartime censor eradicated the squadron markings. |
