Summary
| Description |
English: Eight U.S. Navy Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless dive bombers and six Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat fighters on the flight deck of the escort carrier USS Santee (ACV-29) during Operation Torch, the November 1942 invasion of North Africa. Note the yellow Operation Torch markings visible around the fuselage stars of some of these airplanes. Also note the distance and target information temporarily marked on the carrier's flight deck. Some published sources state that this photo was taken on USS Sangamon (ACV-26). However, the camouflage pattern on her island definitely identifies the ship as Santee. |
