U.S. Navy Fighter Aircraft in Banking Flight Amid Clouds, WWII Air-to-Air Photograph
A U.S. Navy fighter banks sharply above a sea of clouds in this striking air-to-air photograph from World War II. The white star-and-bar insignia identifies it as an American carrier-based fighter, likely a Corsair or Hellcat, captured in flight by a photographer aboard a nearby aircraft. Project: 218193
