DescriptionF6F-5N of VMFN-511 on USS Block Island (CVE-106) off Okinawa 1945.jpg |
English: A U.S. Marine Corps Grumman F6F-5N Hellcat of VMF(N)-511 is launched from the deck of the escort carrier USS Block Island (CVE-106) off Okinawa on 10 May 1945. Mechanics dubbed this aircraft the "Hangar Queen" because it had been "down" several times in one week for minor repairs. Here, "Hangar Queen" is about to head for Sakashima in support of the Okinawa campaign. The catapult officer in the foreground resembles a baseball umpire calling a strike on the Japanese by launching this plane. |
