Also, P-47s and other "ground-based" aircraft were ferried to war zones and
then launched from carriers. I have a great photo of a herd of P-47s preparing
for such a launch. Also, US operated Hurricanes off carriers, I think during
Torch...? I saw a photo of a US-marked Hurri on a beach in NA, getting
manhandled into position for a takeoff attempt after it was forced down in the
middle of the US invasion troops.

Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send your old photos to a
reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone.
