Interesting paint scheme. Don't think I've seen them quite that way.
Keep em coming!
I'll have to try to get a hold of a pic of my Uncle's F6f, right after his wingman had chewed up his backside to the armor plate behind him!
His quote was something like "When the plane started jumping all around I looked back and saw nothing but engine!"

So how many months did Hellcats wear that National Insignia? Had to be brief...

A full year? Guess I better start paying more attention to the Navy birds.
