I realize this is probably a large and complicated subject and varied
between aircraft and carriers, but just as a gross oversimplification
when would naval carrier aircraft typically fold up their wings and
unfold them?
Obviously, they would have to be unfolded before takeoff But
would it be true to say that all planes had their wings folded up
inside
the hangar? Was there some SOP for planes on the flight deck and/or
elevators. Was WW2 different than say modern jets?
