Among them was the PBJ Mitchell, pictured here during operations from the carrier Shangri-La (CV 38) on November 15, 1944, sixty-nine years ago today. Of course, in April 1942, sixteen of the Army Air Forces version of the Mitchell staged the most unlikely of carrier operations when the Doolittle Raiders launched from Hornet (CV  to bomb Japan.<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/554162_10153500261655174_612176663_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> An FM-2 Wildcat, possibly assigned to Composite Squadron (VC) 78, entwined in the barricade after recovery on board the escort carrier Matanikau (CVE-101) on November 16, 1944, sixty-nine years ago today.<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1398009_10153501601055174_862481765_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A TBD-1 Devastator of Torpedo Squadron (VT) 5 pictured in flight over Southern California, on November 16, 1939, seventy-four years ago today. Note the Navy "E" and squadron insignia, a Valkyrie or maiden of Odin that hovered over the battlefield and chose those to be slain, on the fuselage beneath the cockpit. Established as VT-7B in 1937, the squadron was redesignated VT-5 that same year. Taking delivery of its first TBD-1s in 1938, the squadron operated from USS Yorktown (CV 5). Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the reassignment of Yorktown to the Pacific Fleet, VT-5 participated in hit and run raids against the Gilbert Islands and Lae and Salamaua, New Guinea. In addition, during the Battle of Coral Sea in May 1942, VT-5 Devastators attacked Tulagi in the Solomon Islands, and put torpedoes into the side of IJNS Shoho, helping to sink her. Coral Sea marked the end of fleet service for the squadron.<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1398237_10153501628330174_1266777289_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
