CVG-6, CV-19, USS HANCOCK 1945

Wed Feb 08, 2012 5:45 pm

Recently while helping Bill Tate on his book, (Paint Locker Magic), I came across this photo on the
National Naval Air Museum web site. Only problem is that neither him nor I can match any of the nose
art pictures to a particular aircraft type, serial number, squadron, etc. Any help that anyone out there
can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
