A formation of SB2C-1 Helldivers of Bombing Squadron (VB) 17 pictured in flight, probably in the vicinity of Norfolk, Virginia, on June 26, 1943, seventy-years ago today. The first squadron to receive the Helldiver, VB-17 experienced some growing pains with the type, losing numerous aircraft while operating from shore and aboard the carrier Bunker Hill (CV 17) during the carrier's shakedown cruise. While flying from Bunker Hill on November 11, 1943, the squadron introduced the aircraft to combat during a raid on Rabaul, and continued flying missions from the carrier until March 1944. After reforming, VB-17 completed a second combat cruise, this time aboard Hornet (CV 12) during the period February-June 1945. Among their combat missions were attacks against Tokyo and the Japanese battleship Yamato.

Mister G ese es un Curtiss F9F, que operaban desde dirigibles o eso se intento, ya que solo se fabricaron seis y cuatros se perdieron cuando el dirigible Macon se estrello en 1935, pero a pesar que se construyeron en 1933 esta bien que lo postees acá ya que no existe hilo de aviones de entre guerra.

Por eso los puse acá, no me parecio abrir un hilo de aviones de entreguerra.
