Carrier Fighter Aircraft Tails on Flight Deck, VBF-75 Markings, USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVB-42)
Tail fins of U.S. Navy carrier fighters crowd the flight deck of USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVB-42), marked with the code 'VBF-75' identifying Bombing Fighting Squadron 75. Franklin D. Roosevelt was a Midway-class aircraft carrier commissioned in late 1945, and squadrons like VBF-75 flew Corsair and Hellcat fighters from her deck in the early postwar years. Project: 218372
