Summary edit
| Description | A U.S. Navy Curtiss SB2C-3 Helldiver of Bombing Squadron VB-7 in flight over ships of Task Force 38 after completing an attack against Japanese shipping 40 km north of Quinchon, French Indochina, in January 1945. VB-7 operated from the aircraft carrier USS Hancock (CV-19) during the period from September 1944 to January 1945, and participated in the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944. Note the horshoe symbol on the tail indicating aircraft's assignment to the USS Hancock and the pillow on the rear cockpit gun in order to provide some level of comfort for the gunner on the long flight home. A Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat from Fighting Squadron VF-7 is visible in the background. |
