Try copying and pasting the WHOLE thing, the auto link doesn't grab the tail end bit for some reason

I feel your pain. I've been trying to find some Hellcat pictures or squadron markings for VF-50 and VF-8 operating off U.S.S. Bataan and U.S.S. Bunker Hill respectively in 1943/44 including the "Marinas turkey shoot".

Jack- every researcher or artist should have small box with red button near PC where he work, and on the box have to be label "In emergency- brake glass, press button and call Jack Cook"

Thank you Jack :)
