I found about 100 old pictures of aircraft and barrack photos in a trash can. One of the pictures is of a crashed plane that I am unfamiliar with(assume Japanese).What is this plane? Any idea as to what carrier the pictures were taken on? I don't have a scanner, so I just held each picture and took a photo of each one.

I didn't expect it to be Russian. Thanks for the I.D. on the plane Ryan. |

Ryan, you are correct. First thing I thought when I saw the picture, was Russian, Tupolev something or another.  The glazing on the nose is distinctive on this particular model. Saludos, Tulio |

I'm curious about the squadron markings. I don't believe I've ever seen those before. Any ideas? |

According to Bill C. Kilgrain's COLOR SCHEMES and MARKINGS U.S. NAVY AIRCRAFT 1911 - 1950 In January 1947 letters were assigned to Air Groups on carriers. Where before USS Tarawa owned the T and it was applied to her aircraft, the T now belonged to CVG-1 on USS Tarawa but in the future could move with CVG-1 if it went to another carrier. It looks like a 40 on the end of the flight deck and that would be CV-40, USS Tarawa. |

Those pictures are history, and should be put in museum for the next generation to see what greatest generation accomplished. |

Note the small photos. My dad or a friend in the Navy had a camera that took those, "..something like half a 35mm frame." I've seen a few photos of his from that era in that format. |
