Trying to find a repository or source of pictures from onboard the Yorktown during the Marianas Campaign in 1944. In particular on or shortly after the July 4th raids on Chichi Jima. I have a clock from an SB2C-1c that my dad flew on one of the raids of that day. His Helldiver was shot up pretty well and the plane was pushed over the side after Dad removed the clock. He flew with VB-1 under Lt Cmndr. Joseph Runyon in Lt. Mulvihill’s Division. Would love to find the tail number of the plane. Records of that day are marginal at best. The first raid of the day lost three Helldiver crews to AA fire over Chichi Jima. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
