Thank you for this explanation. It’s right that the best way to have correct markings are pics on a correct date but those pics are hard to find on the net and I cant buy books without knowing I will find correct pics. Regards Philippe
Hi;
It depends on the month. The air group involved was CBG-74. From November 1945 to January 1946, it was Corsairs and Helldivers. In March, TBMs were added. By the beginning of 1947, it was Corsairs, Hellcats and Skyraiders. In November 1946 the air group was redesignated CVBG-1. You would have to go by photographs for the markings of a particular date. Hope this is useful.

Hello,
I was wondering what the planes markings are aboard USS Midway cvb-41 in 1945-1946. I saw some pics but I never saw the same markings twice so I'm not sure of the correct markings . Is it also correct that only Corsairs and Helldivers were present on CVB-41 at that point?
Thank you for your answer
Philippe
