Isn't that a war crime?

"Punishment for not cleaning the Officer's Mess, again..."
What? Posting Homer Simpson memes?

Six Sea Hurricane IIC fighters are lined-up on the centerline. This image is often mistaken as one of Audacity. IWM FL 1268

Did returning pilots have problems with camouflaged flight decks? Those "waves" seem a little distracting.

General Motors FM-2 Wildcats of Composite Squadron (VC) 93 aboard USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) prepare for a mission supporting the invasion of Okinawa, 25 March 1945. I am amazed that the Wildcats were still being used that late in the war. Hellcats were a dime a dozen at that time.
Didn't they have a bunch of upgrades including engines?
The small size of the FM-2 was an asset on CVEs (TBMs being another thing...). and Grumman justly could concentrate on Hellcats because Eastern took the burden of producing FM-2s and TBMs.
