Great pics Duggy.
What a dangerous place an Escort Aircraft Carrier flight deck was.
Looks realy tiny with a big Hellcat . This is a plain demonstration to the Wildcat deployment in the little carriers until 1945.
BEWARE THE PROPELLERS.
Cheers.

Thanks for the great pics , as I have been flying wildcats and hellcats lately and starting to appreciate the bravery and skill that these pilots had to have to face the Japanese zeros. Learning the strengths and weaknesses of these to planes is fun and once understood , both are quite potent zero killers. Thanks again S!

Great pics! I'm amazed on the second one though, every prop is turning even as tightly packed and lined up on the sides as they are. Launch must have been one hectic time!

Fascinating photos. I'm guessing form the choice of uniform they are not from the north Atlantic.
