Wilbur onboard while the ship pulls in at Naval Air Station, San Diego, California. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2017/11/01). Photograph is extremely curved.

To divert enemy attention from the upcoming Inchon landing, U. S. Air Force bombers begin strikes on bridges and roads around Kunsan, Korea. To contribute to the deception over the next few days, carrier aircraft from USS Badoeng Strait (CVE-116) and HMS Triumph (R16) strike roads and bridges to the north of Kunsan, and aircraft from USS Valley Forge (CV-45) and USS Philippine Sea (CV-47) attack targets between Seoul and Pyongyang.

A Grumman AF-2S (killer...no radome), comes aboard USS Badoeng Strait (CVE-116).

Just get a load of that wing span!

Search light on the left wing (also possible combined sonobuoy pod), and APS-31 radar on right wing.
