One correction to your otherwise sterling comments regards Spruance Iris7. We only lost the Yorktown at Midway, Both Enterprise and Hornet survuived.

A couple of Hellcat pics from WW-II and then off to work I must go,grumble grumble

This is one of my favorite aircraft photos. Oh looky, it's a FOG candidate as well.

Nice job, Alfa. Darn, I knew that. Google reminds me that Hornetwas lost at the Battle of Santa Cruz, October 26, 1942.

My uncle was on Enterprise during that battle. He said it was the worst he has seen. Must have been ferocious.
