I’d be curious what the breakdown back then was between general crew and crew assigned to a specific airframe. I think the shift is more toward a specific and specialized crew per plane in more modern times, whereas back then I would guess you wouldn’t have more than a couple of men specific to a flight crew.
But, I could be wrong, as some of the maintenance requirements back then were horrendous and could tie up a good number of full-timers on a specific frame.

Also, is that a CVE, possibly Casablanca class?
Wildcats on deck, but they served much later on CVEs than on the big boys, so this could be later war than at first appears.

Wasn’t the gag on the F-14, being the Top Dog plane of the moment that it was:
1) Leading-edge aircraft designed by a huge team of PhDs?
2) State of the art manufacturing by a vast array of MScience graduates using the latest technologies?
3) Flown by intensively and aggressively by a select group of the nation’s pilots, all holding Bachelor’s degrees in engineering?
4) ... But with
all field
service performed by high school graduates?

That’s Planet Australia for ya. They can’t tell their driver side from their passenger side and they don’t know what time it is. They do, however, understand the concept of a burnout.

According to this article it is a CVE but a Bogue class.

Probably should have guessed it was a Bogue and not a Casablanca, but I’ll take the win anyway.

Well, there’s the Plane Captain. I wonder if that is his one aircraft, or of a Plane Captain had more than one plane. If just one, that would make for a lot of Plane Captains.

From Wiki: In 1964, while operating as an aircraft ferry, Card was sunk by enemy action in the harbor at Saigon , South Vietnam . She was refloated and returned to service.
She also operated in the North Atlantic as a sub hunter. I usually think of US carriers as being in the Pacific.
