Has to be a "typ-o", ...VB-9 was aboard the LadyII w/ SB2c-4's as of 03FEB45...

...just in time for a quick trip to the Nakajima A/C factory NW of Tokyo, ...then on to Iwo Jima...

Sweet skin.

Thanks A.
 
hmmm or a case of dyslexia on my part :woot:

My reference has it as " SB2C-3 white of VB-9, USS Lexington, 2 March 1945 "

Sorry about that guys....

Thanks for the kind comments and sorry for the delay - it was on my hard drive for far too long :faint:

Pete

p.s. I can't give a time line due to work stuff, but the others aren't to far away.... and I scrapped the ASW version because it's already been done.

You are correct Pete, ...VB 9 got their -4's when they transferred to the Yorktown ~ 06Mar45...

...that would make it a -3.

Thanks again for the sweet skin, ...and am lookin' forward to the next batch.

:spider:We don't have a librarian. We have a volunteer who checks the files for correct submission format. He does not check the descriptions for historical date references. Judas Priests! What fracking planet are you from? :costumes::costumes:
 
The Helldiver first saw combat November 1943 from the Bunker Hill while attacking Rabual.During the Marianas ( June 1944 ) Enterprise and Lexington still had the Dauntless which were replaced by the Helldiver after the battle.

Just make sure you don't go to far, buddy!
