You are most certainly correct. VF-39 arrived Feb 21, 1944. I am trying to find photos of VF-39 lined up on the airfield...or any photos of F6Fs in the Marshall Islands
I am searching for photographs of the airfield on Majuro Atoll (Delap/Uliga islets)taken in 1944 or 45. Specifically, Im look for a photo that shows the F6F Hellcats. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
