View of the commencement of a launch of the Saratoga Air Group on board the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Saratoga
(CV-3), 1941. The plane nearest to the camera is a Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat of fighting squadron VF-3 (3-F-15), followed
by Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless of bombing squadron VB-3. Douglas TBD-1 Devastators are spotted on the aft part of the
flight deck (wings folded), followed by SBD-3s, probably of scouting squadron VS-6. Note the overall light gray paint
schemes with white lettering and numbering that was carried aboard naval aircraft for a short time during 1941.
