Summary
| Description | The U.S. Navy escort carrier USS Marcus Island (CVE-77) in a South Pacific port, 17 June 1944. The airplanes parked on her flight deck from amidships to the stern appear to be Interstate TDR-1 assault drones. She is probably delivering elements of Special Task Air Group One (STAG-1), which employed TDR-1s in Solomons area combat operations during September and October 1944. Other planes on board appear to be TBMs, which were used for drone control. The ship is painted in Camouflage Measure 32, Design 15A. |
