Wow! Great color pix from WWII! Thanks for posting the link. The pic of Doolittle addressing the US workers is interesting. I wonder what he actually had to say. I doubt it was "You didn't build that"

Thanks a lot for this. There is a pictures of Hellcats on the USS Cowpens. CVL-25 was my grandfather's carrier. He wasn't a flyer, but had some amazing stories. I cherish any picture I can find of that boat. Cool to see one I haven't seen before.
Thanks!
