Summary
| Description |
English: A U.S. Navy General Motors FM-2 Wildcat fighter prepares to take off from the escort carrier USS Charger (CVE-30) during training operations in the Chesapeake Bay area, 8 May 1944. Another FM-2 is passing overhead with its tail hook down, apparently having received a "wave-off" due to the carrier's fouled flight deck. Note the light Atlantic area paint schemes worn by these planes. |
