Summary
| Description | A plane director aboard the U.S. Navy escort carrier USS Cape Gloucester (CVE-109) uses arm signals to position a Grumman TBM Avenger bomber on the ship's starboard catapult, during operations off Kyushu, Japan, 8 September 1945. Flight deck crewmen are attaching a catapult bridle to the plane. Note rockets (probably 3.5-inch) mounted under the TBM's wing, and resting on the cart in the left center background. The TBM wears "G-symbol" air group identification markings. |
