| Description |
English: Guadalcanal-Tulagi Operation, 1942: U.S. Navy LCP(L) and other landing craft maneuver near the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) on 24 July 1942, during preparations for the invasion of Guadalcanal and Tulagi. Note the Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless scout bombers on the carrier's flight deck. The aircraft in the foreground has interesting markings: the mission letter (S) appears on the fin, with the individual aircraft number aft of the fuselage star. The plane to the left illustrates the usual practice, with the mission letter (B) and individual aircraft number both painted forward of the star. "S-8" identifies it as an aircraft of Scouting Squadron 6 (VS-6), "B-3" as one of Bombing Squadron 6 (VB-6). |
