The aircraft code cannot be read, but the red chevron on the top wing indicates the first three-aircraft section of VS-6 and the colouring of the lower half of the cowling should indicate the leader's second wingman, 6-S-3. The blue tail surfaces indicate the USS Enterprise air wing. Photo by: Carl Mydans / Life

BuNo 0517 was lost a month later when its flotation bags inflated during a flight, causing the crew to bail out off Oahu on 31 October 1940. The unit badge confirms the unit to be VS-6, as does the blue tail which identified the USS Enterprise carrier air wing from 1937. Ship 18 has the bottom half of its cowling painted yellow, being the second wingman in the sixth section of a squadron. Photo by: Carl Mydans / Life
