Ulp! I think I'm going to have to expand my display cabinet. The Herc,
Neptune and U-2 aren't exactly small aircraft. And here I was thinking the
A-3 was going to be the biggest of the bunch..

Lots of info on this event has been posted here, but it leaves me with a
smaal problem. I've gotten it into my head to build scale models of every
type of post WWII plane that flew of the decks of US carriers, and now it
turns out even the Herc qualifies for that. Can anyone help me with
information about the squadron markings on this particular aircraft? The
links in the various posts show pictures, but they're not very revealing
in this respect.

Thanks for any help

Make sure include the U-2 in that list..

....aaand the B-52C (the C is for carrier of course)

B-52N, Gord, B-52N...
sigh The B-52C was an Air Force version, it was much
discussed in RAM.

Of course, 'N' dammit...I keep getting that wrong, The 'C and
Carrier' association keeps frigging me up...now, is it 'N' for
Nuckle (to indicate the nuckle in the wing that folds up to clear
the island...shucks that's knuckle isn't it...damn...surely not
Navy is it?...how unimaginative...

I didn't really believe that. So I googled.

Everything? Including FAA, Aéronavale, Koninklijke Marine, RAN, etc.?
Sounds like quite a list if that's the case!

Basically, just US Navy/Marines, but if there was an interesting enough
guest appearance on one of the US carriers, I'll consider it qualified.
And yes, you're right, even that is quite a list, but it's still a lot
less than it would be if I declared a modelling free for all. Many
modellers have hundreds, if not thousands of unbuilt kits in the attic, so
limited myself to this and a few other subjects. It may not sound like
such a great limitation, but it sure beats "anything that ever flew or is
otherwise interesting".
