Great shot of the Ship my Father Carrier Qualified on in late 1942, they sure did a good job on hiding the side paddle wheels powering the two Lake Michigan based Training Carriers. My father would have flown an early SBD onto and back off the USS Wolverine. Can you see the lines of the original Luxury Lake Cruiser Seeandbee in the Wolverine?

Went to Belle Isle today and among other things Visited the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, had a pleasant surprise when I climbed into the old bridge of the old Laker William Clay Ford, our old friend the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Griffon. Hardly expected to see a Ship on the Detroit River today.

One of my old employers Boeing 377 Stratocruiser's at Chicago Midway Airport. Nose of a DC-6 also visible. Note I think we were still using most of that ground equipment into this century!
