Hello there, this is Skywalker.
A friend of mine is making a 1/700 Yorktown and her status will be 1942.6.4's initial strike wave.
He is consulting me for specific numbers of those aircrafts.
From now I have gained the arrangement of cats but the SBDs and the TBDs are remained nearly blank(though I can imply part of them from losses)
So I am here for confirming side numbers of the SBDs and the TBDs
According to Shattered Sword P1972 and photodocs,two F4F-3s and one TBD-1 were triced in the hangar, their numbers are needed as well.
A photo indicates a wing of F4F-3(note this insignia)
A photo indicates there was a TBD
PS:There's inconsistency between photo and arrangement document and I wonder there should be something being confused.
Description:A U.S. Navy Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat of fighting squadron VF-3 from the USS Yorktown (CV-5) lands on the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8), circa 15:30 h, 4 June 1942. The plane "3-F-5" was piloted by Ens. H. A. Bass, USNR, who had forgotten to close the firing circuit switch, and had inadvertently pressed the firing key when the plane stopped suddenly. The six 12.7 mm machine guns opened fire, but the bullets passed harmlessly over the deck.
