Looks like U.S Navy for me.

Wow. I didn't even know there was a difference between airforce and navy dogs ? How could you tell ?

See the picture's background : F-6 Fs and PB4Ys, not really USAAF planes...

 

[Elvis]

I dunno, looks like all the non-Wildcats appear to have perforated dive flaps, so likely not TBDs.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I thought that plane beind the second Wildcat, on the right side, had a different wing, but it might just be a combination of the sunlight and the angle of the plane to the camera.
I thought a few other planes in that section had a different wing, as well, but again, I think its just the angle of those planes to the camera.
So, Dauntless's and Wildcats. That's cool.

Used to go to Port said for holidays when living in Egypt as a kid, could also be a nice new bit of wing in that huge crate.
