Nice place to fly the Helldiver in a couple of months, isn't it?

LZ at Truk ( Febuary 17,1944 ) of the 5 Fleet Carriers only Bunker Hill had the Helldiver.

Same was true at Rabaul ( November 11,1943 ) only Bunker Hill had Helldivers.Bunker Hill also had 24 Corsairs along with 24 Hellcats.

By the time of the Battle of the Philippine Sea only Enterprise and Lexington still had the Dauntless.They were replaced by Helldivers soon after.

On Febuary 18,1944 the USN attacked the fuel storage.This was done the second day because the smoke and fires would have interfered with ship attacks the first day.
