Summary

[edit]
Description

View of an inspection at Otis Field located at Camp Edwards in Massachusetts (USA), on 12 August 1944. Due to the "85-T-" markings on the Grumman TBM Avengers, the aircraft probably belonged to Carrier Air Group 85 (CVG-85) which would later deploy aboard the aircraft carrier USS Shangri-La (CV-38).

Visible are nine TBM Avengers, 16 Vought F4U Corsairs, and a single Grumman J4F Widgeon amphibian. In the background is a Lockheed PV-1 Ventura patrol bomber.
