P-40 Carrier Launch (1942)

Here is an interesting photo of a P-40 being catapulted from USS Chenango CVE-28, to fly shore for combat operations in Morocco, November 1942. Note the U.S. flag markings on the aircraft and now curious where the hooks were for the catapult bridle, also in the foreground you can see the external aiming sight for the guns. #p40 #wwii #usschenango #cve28 #usaaf #navalsafari #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari
