A U.S. Navy Curtiss SB2C-1 Helldiver of Bombing Squadron (VB) 17 pictured after losing its tail during recovery aboard USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) during
operations in the Caribbean in 1943. The first squadron to recive the Helldiver, VB-17 experienced some growing pains with the type, losing numerous
aircraft while operating from shore and aboard Bunker Hill during the carrier's shakedown cruise.

 
Occupation of Germany, vicinity of Nuremberg (notice the jeep bumper code).
Picture from an officer who served with the 65th Infantry division and later assigned to a MP Labor Supervision Company.
