Summary
| Description | Eight Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver dive bombers (Escadrille 3F) and six Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat fighters (Escadrille 1F) on the flight deck of the French aircraft carrier Arromanches (R95) in the Gulf of Tonkin, circa 1951. The Arromanches (R95), the former HMS Colossus (R15), arrived on station off Indochina in 1948 operating Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers and Supermarine Seafire fighters. After a period of overhaul, the carrier returned to combat in late 1951 and over the course of the next three years operated SB2C-5s, and F6F-5s Hellcats in the French Indochina War. Note the Sikorsky HO3S plane guard helicopter. |
