Title: Douglas TBD-1 torpedo plane
Description: Landing on board USS Enterprise (CV-6), in about July 1941. Note landing signal officer is in the foreground, and plane guard destroyers in the center distance. The original photo caption gives a date of 8 April 1942, which is highly improbable as the plane is in mid-1941 vintage overall gray paint and the destroyers are wearing peacetime light gray paint. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
