WW 2 Navy Album

Wildr1 · May 17, 2018

I picked up at auction an album from the estate of a navy man who was stationed on 2 different aircraft carriers. There were action shots from aboard the carriers ( USS_Saipan(CVL-48) and (CV4-1 USS RANGER) and something quiet unusual, photos from an air station I believe right after the war. this is the start of the Navy Album.

Good find. I wonder how many of these treasures end up in landfill.

Excellent. Who knows what the fate of these historic pictures would have been had you not been in the right place at the right time?

Only 2 wing guns on that hellcat?

Thanks Wildr1,
They took off over the sea, single engine and then fought! So many risks. I feel truly humbled.
Again thanks.

An RAF Invader? I didn't know we had any

A very interesting shot of the Invader. As far as I know, only one (possibly two) was received by the RAF for evaluation purposes.
